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.
Claims15
A method of improving plant growth comprising applying an effective amount of a mixture of (S)-abscisic acid (ABA) and a cytokinin to the plant, wherein the weight ratio of ABA to the cytokinin is from about 10:1 to about 1:10 and wherein the plant is sugar beet.
A method of improving yield in a sugar beet plant comprising applying an effective amount of a mixture of (S)-abscisic acid (ABA) and a cytokinin to the sugar beet plant, wherein the weight ratio of ABA to the cytokinin is from about 10:1 to about 1:10.
A method of improving sugar yield in a sugar beet plant comprising applying an effective amount of a mixture of (S)-abscisic acid (ABA) and a cytokinin to the sugar beet plant, wherein the weight ratio of ABA to the cytokinin is from about 10:1 to about 1:10.
