Abstract:
A process for treating plants comprising applying to plants a composition comprising an amino siloxane alkoxylate of the following formula:ZMe2SiO((Me)2SiO)xSiMe2Q whereinx=0 to 2, Q=CaH2aO(C2H4O)b(C3H6O)cR, a=2 to 4, b=1 to 12, c =0 to 5, provided that when c>0, (b+c)=2 to 12, R is hydrogen, acetyl, or a hydrocarbon radical containing between 1 and 4 carbon atoms, Z is BN(DO(CdH2dO)eR)2-zVz, each d is 2 to 4, each e is 0 to 15, z=0 to 2, V is selected from the group consisting of alkyl of less than 8 carbon atoms which may be optionally substituted with hydroxyl and alkylamine, the nitrogen of which may be optionally alkoxylated or substituted with alkyl, D is a divalent alkylene bridging group of 2 to 6 carbon atoms on which there may be hydroxyl substituents, and B is a divalent alkylene group of 2 to 4 carbon atoms or D(O)y(CdH2dO)jD, wherein j is 0 to 8 and is 0 or 1.
