High Concentration Low VOC Liquid Gibberellin

摘要

The invention relates generally to a liquid solution formulation including gibberellic acid (“GA3”), gibberellin4 (“GA4”), gibberellin4/7 (“GA4/7”), or combinations thereof, and a low-volatile, organic solvent, and methods of their use. Specifically, the liquid solution formulations of the present invention are directed toward agricultural liquid solution formulations including at least one gibberellin and a low-volatile, organic solvent selected from polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and/or a non-polymeric glycol.

主权项

1. A non-aqueous liquid solution formulation comprising:
a) about 0.001 to about 20 wt. % of at least one gibberellin selected from the group consisting of GA3, GA4, and GA4/7, b) about 40 to 99.9 wt. % of a low-volatile, organic solvent selected from the group consisting of at least one polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight from about 190-420, propylene glycol, and at least one non-polymeric glycol; c) 0 to about 20 wt. % of at least one non-aqueous co-solvent; d) 0 to about 20 wt. % at least one surfactant, and e) optionally, at least one mineral, wherein said liquid formulation has a low level of volatile organic chemicals such that the vapor pressure of said liquid formulation is greater than 0.08 mm Hg at 20° C. or said liquid formulation has a volatile organic chemical (VOC) emission potential of ≦25%.
