摘要

The present invention relates to agriculture. More particularly, the invention relates to a method of increasing photosynthesis of a plant and more particularly of crop plants. The method consists of foliar application of an effective amount of lipo-chitooligosaccharides along with an agriculturally suitable carrier so as to enhance photosynthesis when compared to an untreated plant.
