Abstract
The present invention relates to methods of improving growth and yield in plants by applying an effective amount of a mixture of (S)-abscisic acid and one or more cytokinins to the plant. The present invention relates to methods of improving stress tolerance in plants by applying an effective amount of a mixture of (S)-abscisic acid and one or more cytokinins to the plant.
Claims22
A method of improving plant growth comprising applying an effective amount of a mixture of (S)-abscisic acid (ABA) and one or more cytokinins to the plant, wherein the weight ratio of ABA to the one or more cytokinins is from about 10:1 to about 1:10 and wherein the plant is a cereal crop.
A method of improving plant growth comprising applying an effective amount of a mixture of (S)-abscisic acid (ABA) and one or more cytokinins to the plant, wherein the weight ratio of ABA to the one or more cytokinins is from about 10:1 to about 1:10, wherein the plant is a cereal crop and wherein the one or more cytokinins is 6-benzyladenine or forchlorfenuron.
A method of improving plant growth in a plant comprising applying an effective amount of a mixture of (S)-abscisic acid (ABA) and one or more cytokinins to the plant, wherein the weight ratio of ABA to the one or more cytokinins is from about 10:1 to about 1:10 and wherein the plant is selected from the group consisting of corn, millet, sorghum and soybean.
