Stable S-(+)-abscisic acid liquid and soluble granule formulations
View Patent ↗The present invention generally relates to stable S-(+)-abscisic acid liquid and soluble granule formulations and methods of making and using such formulations.
1. A soluble 2-cis,4-trans-(S)-abscisic acid granule formulation comprising:
a) 2-cis, 4-trans-(S)-abscisic acid powder;
b) a lactose or sucrose powder;
c) sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate;
d) maltodextrin powder of about 10% dextrose equivalence; and
e) polyoxyethylene(20) oleyl ether; and
f) an additional plant growth regulator.
2. The granule formulation of claim 1 further comprising citric acid.
3. The granule formulation of claim 1 further comprising water.
4. The granule formulation of claim 1 wherein the plant growth regulator is gibberellic acid, 6-benzyladenine, or N-(2-chloro-4-pyridinyl)-N′-phenylurea.
5. The granule formulation of claim 4 wherein the plant growth regulator is gibberellic acid.
6. The granule formulation of claim 4 wherein the plant growth regulator is 6-benzyladenine.
7. The granule formulation of claim 5 wherein the plant growth regulator is N-(2-chloro-4-pyridinyl)-N′-phenylurea.
8. A soluble 2-cis,4-trans-(S)-abscisic acid granule formulation comprising:
a) about 21.1% by weight of 2-cis,4-trans-(S)-abscisic acid powder;
b) about 71.0% by weight of lactose powder;
c) about 1.0% by weight of sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate;
d) about 4.0% by weight of maltodextrin powder of about 10% dextrose equivalence; and
e) about 1.0% by weight of polyoxyethylene (20) oleyl ether; and
f) an additional plant growth regulator.
9. The granule formulation of claim 8 further comprising about 2.0% by weight citric acid.
10. The granule formulation of claim 8 further comprising water.
11. The granule formulation of claim 8 wherein the plant growth regulator is gibberellic acid, 6-benzyladenine, or N-(2-chloro-4-pyridinyl)-N′-phenylurea.
12. The granule formulation of claim 11 wherein the plant growth regulator is gibberellic acid.
13. The granule formulation of claim 11 wherein the plant growth regulator is 6-benzyladenine.
14. The granule formulation of claim 11 wherein the plant growth regulator is N-(2-chloro-4-pyridinyl)-N′-phenylurea.
