Methods for improving plant growth

摘要

Methods of improving the growth of a plant by applying a plant growth effective amount of a plant growth composition that includes a hydrated aluminum-magnesium silicate and at least one dispersant selected from the group consisting of a sucrose ester, a lignosulfonate, an alkylpolyglycoside, a naphthalenesulfonic acid formaldehyde condensate and a phosphate ester to plant propagation material in the absence of insect pest pressure.

主权项

1. A plant composition obtained after treatment of plant propagation material, the treatment comprising the step of applying a plant growth effective amount of a plant growth composition to the plant propagation material, said plant growth composition comprising:
a) a hydrated aluminum-magnesium silicate; and b) at least one dispersant selected from the group consisting of a sucrose ester, a lignosulfonate, an alkylpolyglycoside, a naphthalenesulfonic acid formaldehyde condensate and a phosphate ester;wherein the plant growth composition is free of biocides.
