Abstract
The invention relates to the use of at least one compound selected from the class of the sulphoximines for enhancing plants' intrinsic defenses and/or for improving plant growth and/or for enhancing the resistance of plants to plant diseases which are caused by fungi, bacteria, viruses, MLOs (mycoplasma-like organisms) and/or RLOs (rickettsia-like organisms), and/or for enhancing the resistance of plants to abiotic stress factors.
Claims17
A method for enhancing an intrinsic defense of a plant to abiotic stress factors wherein said method comprises treating a plant in need of said enhancing with the compound N-[6-trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl]ethyl](methyl)oxido-λ4-sulphanylidenecyanamide (I-8).
A method for protecting seed or germinating plants:
- for enhancing an intrinsic defense of a seed or germinating plant to abiotic stress factors, comprising treating a seed or germinating plant in need of said protecting or enhancing with the compound N-[6-trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl](methyl)oxido-λ4-sulphanylidenecyanamide(I-8).
A nutrient solution for treating growing plants or germinating plants, comprising an effective amount of the compound N-[6-trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl]ethyl(methyl)oxido-λ4-sulphanylidenecyanamide (I-8) for enhancing an intrinsic defense of a said plant to abiotic stress factors.
