- Plant growth promoting composition
-
The present invention relates to new compositions and methods for the regulation of plant growth, especially for prevention of lodging, promotion of fruit abscission, acceleration of ripening and sap flow, breaking of seed dormancy, advancement of sprouting, inhibition of germination and rhizome development or inhibition by utilizing a coacting mixture of a N-heterocyclic amide having one hetero-nitrogen atom per 5- or 6- membered ring and a haloalkyl silane having the formula: STR1 wherein X is a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom; Y and Z are each independently --OR; halogen; alkenyl of 3 to 8 carbon atoms or alkyl of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, both optionally substituted with halogen, lower alkoxy or phenyl; benzyl or phenyl, both optionally substituted with halogen, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy; and R is hydrogen; alkenyloxy of 2 to 8 carbon atoms or alkyl of 1 to 12 carbon atoms, both optionally substituted with halogen, or alkoxy; benzyl or phenyl, both optionally substituted with halogen, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy and mixtures of said silanes and said amides.
