Hydrocolloid systems for reducing loss of volatile active compounds from their liquid formulations for pre- and post harvest use on agricultural crops

摘要

Ethylene response manipulation formulations are disclosed. The formulations comprise at least one ethylene response manipulation agent which is at least partially encapsulated, a polyol liquid medium, or a hydrogel medium, or a combination of polyol and hydrogel medium. A preferred ethylene response manipulation agent is 1-methylcyclopropene.
