Abstract:
A plant growth promoter composition comprising:(a) not in excess of 20% by weight of the total composition of one or more gibberellins; and (b) an essentially non-aqueous solvent system comprising: (i) 30 to 99% by weight of the total composition of one or more lipophilic solvents; (ii) one or more lipophilic alkaline coupling agents which enable the gibberellins to form a lipophilic solvent soluble complex, wherein the amount of lipophilic alkaline coupling agents is more than the equivalent molar amount of gibberellins; (iii) 1 to 50% by weight of the total composition of one or more emulsifiers which blend with the lipophilic solvent(s) to form a homogeneous product and enable dispersion of the composition into water for application; and (iv) optionally, not in excess of 15% by weight of the total composition of one or more viscosity reducing co-solvents.
