Abstract
Agricultural compositions which comprise: (i) a secondary nutrient or micronutrient; (ii) benzoic acid or a biologically acceptable derivative thereof; and (iii) a water soluble salt of Formula (I) wherein R1 is a C1-10alkenyl group, or a C2-10alkenyl group and M is a cation of valency n for administering a secondary nutrient or micronutrient to plants. Also formulations containing the compositions and methods of their use are included.
Claims12
An agricultural composition comprising:
- (i) a secondary nutrient or micronutrient selected from the group consisting of calcium, magnesium, sodium, chloride or sulphur, copper, cobalt, iron, manganese, boron, molybendum, zinc, silicon or nickel, wherein the total concentration of all secondary nutrient and micronutrient present in the composition is in the concentration range of 0.01% to 40% w/w;
- (ii) benzoic acid or a biologically acceptable derivative or salt thereof, wherein the benzoic acid or biologically acceptable derivative or salt thereof is present in the composition in the concentration range of 0.001% to 1.00% w/w;
- and (iii) a water soluble salt of formula (I)
- wherein R1 is a pentyl group, so that the compound of formula (I) is a dihydrojasmonate salt, or R1 is a pent-2-enyl group, so that the compound of formula (I) is a jasmonate salt, and
- M is a metal cation of valency n, selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal cation (where n is 1) or an alkaline earth metal cation (where n is 2), wherein the salt of the compound of formula (I) is present in the composition in the concentration range of 0.001% to 1.000% w/w.
