Embodiment 1

[0061] Impatiens (unknown cultivar in 10 cm (4 in) diameter pots) and cyclamen plants (unknown cultivar in 10 cm (4.5 in) diameter pots) were sprayed with 1-MCP solution After that, use vinyl to check its appearance and the shedding of flowers and buds.

[0062]

[0063] Note 1: 0=poor; 5=excellent

[0064] Note 2: 1 = Poor; 5 = Excellent

[0065] Treatment at 300 mg / L was phytotoxic to Impatiens.

Embodiment 2

[0067] Kalanchoe (unknown cultivar), 'Shuangzihua' oleander and 'sonnet' snapdragon (both in 10 cm (4 in) diameter pots) were sprayed with or without Silwet TM A solution of L-77 surfactant (1.007 specific gravity) in 1-MCP was then checked with ethylene.

[0068] For Kalanchoe we looked at the percentage of plants on which one or more flowers withered and died, whether or not the dead flowers remained on the plant. For oleander and snapdragon, we looked at the percentage of plants on which one or more flowers or one or more buds had fallen off.

[0069]

[0070] Application of 1-MCP at a rate of 5 mg / L was sufficient to protect against ethylene. Application of 1-MCP at a rate of 50 mg / L did not cause any phytotoxicity to the flowers of Kalanchoe or snapdragon, but the highest rate caused phytotoxicity to the open florets of oleander or snapdragon.

Embodiment 3

[0072] After spraying with the 1-MCP solution without surfactant, occurrence of wilting of buds and abscission of flowers (%) of bellflowers (planted in pots) was checked with ethylene. We looked at the percentage of plants on which one or more buds or one or more flowers wilted or fell off, or both.

[0073]

[0074] When the amount of 1-MCP was 0, the percentage of shoot shedding on day 7 was lower than that on day 1 due to shoot regrowth.

Abstract

In a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of treating ornamental plants comprising contacting said plants with a liquid composition comprising of one or more cyclopropene compound, wherein the concentration of the total of all of said one or more cyclopropene compound is 0.3 to 300 milligrams of cyclopropene compound per liter of said liquid composition.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the treatment of ornamental plants. Background technique [0002] It is often desired to extend the life of ornamental plants. It is also often desirable to improve the general vitality of ornamental plants. [0003] US 2005 / 0261132 describes the treatment of plants or plant parts with compositions comprising cyclopropene and metal complexing agents. US 2005 / 0261132 does not solve the problem of treating ornamental plants in a certain way to prolong their life. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of treating ornamental plants to prolong their life, for example by delaying one or more of the following: deterioration of appearance, initiation of flower drop, initiation of bud drop, initiation of flower fading, initiation of bud Wilting, or any combination of these conditions. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of treating ornamental plants so as to improve their gen...
