THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITION COMPRISING AN ETHYLENE RESPONSE INHIBITOR RELEASING MATERIAL

摘要

A method of inhibiting an ethylene response in flowers, fruits, vegetables and plants comprising the steps of applying to the plant an effective amount of an ethylene response inhibitor releasing composition comprising: a thermoplastic base, a filler, an ethylene response inhibitor releasing material and a moisture transmitting material that concentrates moisture at the ethylene response inhibitor releasing material, and activating the composition at humidity of at least about 80% Rh at 5C.
