The present invention relates to new delivery systems for cyclopropenes innwhich compositions comprising the cyclopropene and a molecular encapsulationnagent complex further comprise additional components which provide slownrelease of the cyclopropene from the molecular encapsulating agent with water,nor release of the cyclopropene from the molecular encapsulating agent with onlynsmall amounts of water, or both. The present invention also provides methods tonrelease a cyclopropene from such compositions as well as methods to deliver ancyclopropene compound to a plant to inhibit an ethylene response in the plant. |
