Methods and compositions for treating plants exposed to salt

摘要

Methods and compositions for the protection of plant tissue from damage upon exposure to chemical stresses, and to assist plant tissue in recovering from chemical stress injuries, include the application of an effective amount of chemical stress-protectant compositions selected from the group consisting of tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, tetrahydrofurfuryl amine and mixtures thereof. The compositions are applied as aqueous solutions containing between about 0.005 and about 25 wt % of the stress-protectant components. Surfactants may be included to improve application of the compositions to the plant tissues.
