US Patent:

59627174, Oct 5, 1999

Filed:

Mar 9, 1999

Appl. No.:

9/265268

Inventors:

Arthur M. Nonomura - Boxborough MA
Barry A. Cullen - Lyndeborough NH
Joseph J. Crudden - Hudson NH
John J. Nishio - Laramie WY

Assignee:

Hampshire Chemical Corp. - Lexington MA

International Classification:

C07F 306
C07F 1506
C07F 1300

US Classification:

556 50

Abstract:

Plant micronutrient compounds comprising N-acyl ED3A or salts thereof. The N-acyl ED3A derivatives chelate various trace metals, including iron, copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt and nickel.

US Patent:

58469087, Dec 8, 1998

Filed:

Mar 5, 1996

Appl. No.:

8/610928

Inventors:

Arthur M. Nonomura - Boxborough MA
John N. Nishio - Laramie WY
Andrew A. Benson - La Jolla CA

International Classification:

A01N 3744
A01N 3748

US Classification:

504322

Abstract:

Methods and compositions for enhancing plant growth provide for foliar application of a substance which enhances the accumulation of formylterahydropteroyl polyglutamate (C. sub. 1 -THF) in a treated plant. Treatment with substance that contribute to the structure of (C. sub. 1 -THF) increase the rate and quantity of carbon fixation by the plant. Thereafter, plant growth is further improved either by exposure of the plant to elevated oxygen, illumination and heat or by foliar input of single carbon fragment sources. Opitmal results are obtained by combined treatment with a substance that can serve as a sink for C. sub. 1 fragments produced in the leaf.

International Classification:

A01N 3100
A01N 3700
A01N 4322
A01N 5702

US Classification:

504127

Abstract:

The present invention provides methods for treating plants which comprise application of an oxidant that induces NADPH:cytochrome P450 reductase and application of a reductant that induces cytochrome P450 monooxygenase. The present invention also provides methods for increasing cytochrome P450 in plants and for enhancing the growth of plants. The present invention also provides compositions and systems useful in the methods of the present invention.

US Classification:

504136

Abstract:

Methods and compositions for enhancing plant growth provide for foliar application of a substance which enhances the accumulation of formyltetrahydropteroyl polyglutamate (C. sub. 1 -THF) in a treated plant. Treatment with substances that contribute to the structure of C. sub. 1 -THF increase the rate and quantity of carbon fixation by the plant. Thereafter, plant growth is further improved either by exposure of the plant to elevated oxygen, illumination and heat or by foliar input of single carbon fragment sources. Optimal results are obtained by combined treatment with a substance that can serve as a sink for C. sub. 1 fragments produced in the leaf.
