PLANT TREATMENT COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THEIR USE

摘要

Plant treatment compositions comprising metal alginate salts and further containing at least one amine compound (sometimes also herein referred to as the "first amine compound"), and additionally includes at least a pH buffer composition comprising a second amine compound (sometimes also herein referred to as the "second amine compound"), which compositions useful in the treatment of plants, particularly food crops. In certain embodiments, the plant treatment compositions are highly effective even wherein the content of metallic copper present is 500 ppm or even less in the plant treatment composition used to treat plants or crops. The plant treatment compositions are found to be highly effective even in the absence of herbicides, fungicides and pesticides.
