example 5

[0224] Example 5A shows increased tomato yield by treating processed tomato plants of variety AB2 with a composition comprising 1-MCP at one or more of the following times: (i) from the onset of anthesis (anthesis 1) to 7 days after the onset of anthesis (Anthesis 2) and (II) one or more treatments during the time period from 28 days before expected harvest to harvest (Day 28). Furthermore, Example 5A shows that Brix yield (i.e. soluble solids, total soluble solids, soluble solids content) as a measure of tomato quality is increased by treating processed tomato plants of variety AB2 with a composition comprising 1-MCP. Thus, the disclosed methods not only increase the crop yield of tomato plants, but also improve the quality of tomatoes obtained from such tomato plants.

[0225] Example 5B shows that this is achieved by contacting processed tomato plants of variety 410 with a composition comprising 1-MCP when the tomato plants are at the onset of first flowering (anthesis 1) o...

example 1

[0294] Example 1: Soybean Plants

[0295]To prepare the test compositions, spray cans are filled to about two-thirds of the total volume with the required water. Weigh the amount of Powder 1 or Powder 2 according to the ratio and total volume of the spray prepared. The appropriate amount is calculated to give a total spray volume of 1% v / v. Add Adjuvant 1 to the spray can and stir until the mixture turns milky white. Add Powder 1 or Powder 2 to the spray container and agitate gently (not vigorously). Add the remaining water, making sure all the powder is wet and washed down the sides of the jar (if deposited there). The spray can is then swirled or stirred for at least two minutes (2-5 minutes) to ensure good mixing of the composition. The soybean plants are then sprayed with the composition between 5 and 60 minutes.

[0296] The tested compositions were applied to soybean plants using a flat fan nozzle producing a droplet size of 100 to 500 microns. The composition was...

[0301] Example 2: Corn Plants

[0302] Maize hybrid variety FR1064X LH185 was planted at 72,000 plants per hectare (ha) and treated as described in Example 1. Use powder 1. The treatment stage (ie, the stage of development the corn plants were at when they were treated with the disclosed compositions), treatment rate (grams of 1-MCP / ha), and results are as follows. Simple yield measures are reported as metric tons (mT) per hectare. Other yield measurements are also shown. Treatment results in an increase in yield in one or more measures.

[0307] (2) Based on the weight of the grain, the weight percentage of protein (or starch or oil)

[0308] (3) The untreated control did not use 1-MCP

Abstract

A method of treating dicot seedlings comprises contacting dicot seedlings with a composition comprising at least one cyclopropene one or more times prior to transplanting the dicot seedlings. A methodof treating crop plants comprises contacting crop plants one or more times with a composition comprising at least one cyclopropene while the crop plants are at a specific development stage, such as reproductive stage.

Description

[0001] priority claim [0002] This application claims the benefit of the filing date of US Patent Application Serial No. 14 / 707,958, "METHODS OF TREATING CROP PLANTS," filed May 8, 2015, which is incorporated herein in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to methods of treating crop plants, and to methods of treating dicot seedlings to improve crop plant quality, yield and / or environmental stress tolerance. Background technique [0004] Plants are often treated with chemical compositions to control pest (such as insects) and / or vegetation (such as weeds or fungi) attack, and to promote plant growth and / or yield. It is also desirable to protect plants from abiotic environmental stresses (eg, heat, cold, high winds, salinity, drought or flooding) that may adversely affect their growth and productivity. Additionally, when plants are transplanted from one location to another, the plants may suffer and / or die from transplant shock. Significant ...
