Composition for and method of stimulating growth of plants, e.g. increase in crop production. The composition comprises a carbon skeleton/energy component, typically a sugar or mixture of sugars; a macronutrient component providing the elements nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium, preferably also magnesium and sulfur; a micronutrient component providing zinc, iron and manganese, preferably also copper, boron, molybdenum and cobalt. The composition also preferably contains a vitamin/cofactor component and an enhancement component. The composition may be in the form of an aqueous solution or in a form suitable for coating seeds or coating pollen. It may be applied as a foliar spray, as a soil amendment, as a root dip or as an injectable solution. Preferably where, for example, it is used as a foliar spray it is applied at intervals at different stages of growth.
The method is useful for treating vegetation to promotes plant growth and/or crop production, also for treating pollen, seeds, roots and soil and inhibiting growth of insects and micro-organisms. A formulation including an energy/carbon skeleton component, a macro nutrient component and a micro nutrient component is applied,, e.g. in aqueous solution by foliar spraying. This is done in a manner to make optimum use of the inherent ability of vegetation to harvest solar energy and to utilize other sources of energy and carbon skeleton, such that the energy and nutrients applied by the method of the invention is a fraction of the energy and carbon skeleton requirements of the vegetation.
一种用于刺激植物生长的组合物和方法,例如增加作物产量。该组合物包括碳骨架/能量成分,通常为糖或糖混合物;提供氮、磷、钾和钙元素的大量营养成分,最好还包括镁和硫;提供锌、铁和锰元素的微量营养成分,最好还包括铜、硼、钼和钴。该组合物还最好包含维生素/辅因子成分和增强成分。该组合物可以是水溶液形式或适合于涂覆种子或花粉的形式。它可以作为叶面喷雾、土壤改良剂、根部浸泡或注射溶液应用。最好在不同生长阶段的间隔时间内使用,例如作为叶面喷雾使用。该方法对于促进植物生长和/或作物产量非常有用,还用于处理花粉、种子、根和土壤,并抑制昆虫和微生物的生长。该方法应用包括能量/碳骨架成分、大量营养成分和微量营养成分的配方,例如通过叶面喷雾以水溶液形式应用。这样做是为了最大限度地利用植物收集太阳能的内在能力,并利用其他能源和碳骨架来源,使本发明方法应用的能量和营养成分是植物所需能量和碳骨架需求的一部分。
