Abstract

The present invention is directed to an agricultural mixture comprising 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a hydrate thereof, a polymorph thereof or a salt thereof and jasmonic acid. The present invention is further directed to a method of enhancing apple coloration comprising applying a mixture of the present invention to apples.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An agricultural mixture comprising 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a hydrate thereof, a polymorph thereof or a salt thereof and jasmonic acid.

2 . The mixture of claim 1 , wherein 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a hydrate thereof, a polymorph thereof or a salt thereof and jasmonic acid are present at a concentration ratio from about 1,000:1 to about 1:1,000.

3 . The mixture of claim 2 , wherein 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a hydrate thereof, a polymorph thereof or a salt thereof and jasmonic acid are present at a concentration ratio from about 100:1 to about 1:100.

4 . The mixture of claim 3 , wherein 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a hydrate thereof, a polymorph thereof or a salt thereof and jasmonic acid are present at a concentration ratio from about 10:1 to about 1:10.

5 . The mixture of claim 4 , wherein 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a hydrate thereof, a polymorph thereof or a salt thereof and jasmonic acid are present at a concentration ratio from about 6:1 to about 1:6.

6 . A composition comprising a mixture of claim 1 .

7 . The composition of claim 6 , wherein the concentration of 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a hydrate thereof, a polymorph thereof or a salt thereof is from about 1 to about 1,000 parts per million.

8 . The composition of claim 7 , wherein the concentration of 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a hydrate thereof, a polymorph thereof or a salt thereof is from about 10 to about 500 ppm.

9 . The composition of claim 8 , wherein the concentration of 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a hydrate thereof, a polymorph thereof or a salt thereof is from about 50 to about 300 ppm.

10 . The composition of claim 6 , wherein the concentration of jasmonic acid is from about 1 to about 1,000 parts per million.

11 . The composition of claim 10 , wherein the concentration of jasmonic acid is from about 10 to about 500 ppm.

12 . The composition of claim 11 , wherein the concentration of jasmonic acid is from about 50 to about 300 ppm.

13 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises one or more excipients selected from the group consisting of solvents, anti-caking agents, stabilizers, defoamers, slip agents, humectants, dispersants, wetting agents, thickening agents, emulsifiers, penetrants, adjuvants, synergists, polymers, propellants and preservatives.

14 . A method of enhancing apple coloration comprising applying an effective amount of a mixture of 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a hydrate thereof, a polymorph thereof or a salt thereof and jasmonic acid to apples.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a hydrate thereof, a polymorph thereof or a salt thereof is applied at a rate from about 1 to about 1,000 grams per hectare.

16 . The method of claim 15 , wherein 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a hydrate thereof, a polymorph thereof or a salt thereof is applied at a rate from about 10 to about 500 grams per hectare.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein 1-amino-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, a hydrate thereof, a polymorph thereof or a salt thereof is applied at a rate from about 50 to about 300 grams per hectare.

18 . The method of claim 14 , wherein jasmonic acid is applied at a rate from about 1 to about 1,000 grams per hectare.

19 . The method of claim 18 , wherein jasmonic acid is applied at a rate from about 10 to about 500 grams per hectare.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein jasmonic acid is applied at a rate from about 50 to about 300 grams per hectare.
