Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is directed to the treatment of crop plants with 3′-methyl-(S)-abscisic acid, 3′-propargyl-(S)-abscisic acid, and/or salts thereof in order to improve the plants' environmental stress tolerance.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of improving low temperature tolerance consisting of applying a composition consisting of (2Z,4E)-5-((S)-1-hydroxy-2,3,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxocyclohex-2-en-1-yl)-3-methylpenta-2,4-dienoic acid (3′-methyl-(S)-abscisic acid) and or a salt thereof as the only active ingredient and at least one adjuvant to a crop plant selected from the group consisting of cucumber, tobacco, corn and soybean, wherein the 3′-methyl-(S)-abscisic acid is applied at a rate of from about 2 to about 235 grams per hectare. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the 3′-methyl-(S)-abscisic acid is applied at a rate of from about 3.4 to about 11.4 grams per hectare. 3. A method of improving drought stress tolerance consisting of applying a composition consisting of (2Z,4E)-5-((S)-1-hydroxy-2,3,6,6-tetramethyl-4-oxocyclohex-2-en-1-yl)-3-methylpenta-2,4-dienoic acid (3′-methyl-(S)-abscisic acid) or a salt thereof as the only active ingredient and at least one adjuvant to a crop plant selected from the group consisting of cucumber, tobacco, corn and soybean, wherein the 3′-methyl-(S)-abscisic acid is applied at a rate of from about 90 to about 600 grams per hectare. 4. The method of claim 3 wherein the methyl-(S)-abscisic acid is applied at a rate of from about 110 to about 380 grams per hectare.
