Abstract
A process for treating plants, including the application of at least one compound, termed carbonic ester of glycerol, including at least one carboxylic ester function formed by a carbonic acid-derived group and at least one glycerol-derived group, with the exception of cyclic glyceryl carbonate including five ring members.
Claims10
A method for the treatment of plants, comprising:
- applying to a plant at least one glycerol carbonic ester, with the exception of a cyclic glycerol carbonate having five ring members, the glycerol carbonic ester being selected from the group consisting of:
- (i) linear glycerol carbonic esters having at least one group of atoms of general formula (I):
- wherein
- G0 is selected from the group consisting of:
- α/α′-acylated propylene groups of general formula (II):
- β-acylated propylene groups of general formula (III):
- the α/α′-hydroxylated propylene group of formula (IV):
- the β-hydroxylated propylene group of formula (V):
- wherein R1 and R2 are organic groups formed of elements selected from the group consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O);
- and
- (ii) cyclic α/α′-acylated glycerol carbonic esters of general formula (VIII):
- wherein R1 is an organic group formed of elements selected from the group consisting of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O);
- wherein the at least one glycerol carbonic ester is applied by contacting a part of the plant elected from the group consisting of a plant seed, a part of the plant above soil, an underground part of the plant, and combinations thereof.
