SUBSTITUTED BENZYLTRIALKYLAMMONIUM SALTS AND THEIR USE AS PLANT GROWTH REGULATORY CONTROL AGENTS

摘要

Compounds are prepared which correspond to the formula wherein R represents chloro, bromo or trifluoromethyl; n represents an integer of from 0 to 2 with the proviso that when R is trifluoromethyl, n is 1; R1, R2 and R3 each independently represent ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl, isobutyl, ethylnyl, vinyl or ethoxymethyl or R2 and R3 taken together form an alkylene bridge of 2 to 4 carbon atoms and X represents a non-phytotoxic anion. The compounds have been found to be active plant growth regulatory control agents.
