| abstract |
Synthetic mixtures comprising two or more synthetic oligoglucosamine based derivatives have been found to be useful in agricultural compositions for promoting seed germination. The disclosed synthetic mixtures may be applied to plant propagating materials, including seeds and other regenerable plant parts, including cuttings, bulbs, rhizomes and tubers. They may also be applied to foliage, or soil either prior to or following planting of plant propagating materials. Such applications may be made alone or in combination with fungicides, insecticides, nematicides and other agricultural agents used to improve plant growth and crop yield. |
