A process for increasing plant growth and productivity comprising treating the roots, stems and/or foliage of the plant with gamma -aminobutyric acid and succinic acid as a readily metabolized source of carbon. The present invention also provides for a process for increasing plant growth and productivity comprising treating the roots of the plant with gamma -aminobutyric acid and succinic acid, and a process for increasing the rate of root formation in a plant comprising treating the roots, stems and foliage of the plant with gamma -aminobutyric acid and succinic acid. Further, plant growth is increased by application of mixtures of gamma -aminobutyric acid and synthetic succinic acid, in a suitable carrier to a plant. |
