Method of improving plant health and rooting of plants
Methods and compositions for promoting health and development in a plant or crop. The disclosure further provides for compositions and methods of improving crop yield and/or plant quality.
1. A method for promoting root and shoot growth of a plant and plant development comprising applying a composition comprising indaziflam to soil in which a seed of said plant is planted or is to be planted,
wherein said plant belongs to the genus Pinus,
wherein the soil is treated in a pre-emergence step, and
wherein the composition is applied at a rate of between 10 g/ha and 300 g/ha indaziflam.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein indaziflam is present at a concentration of 0.0001% to 20% by weight of the composition.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein indaziflam is present at a concentration of 0.001% to 10% by weight of the composition.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein indaziflam is present at a concentration of 0.01% to 1% by weight of the composition.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein indaziflam is present at a concentration of 0.1% to 0.5% by weight of the composition.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plant belongs to the species P. taeda.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plant belongs to the species P. echinata.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plant belongs to the species P. virginiana.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein indaziflam is the only active herbicide component of the composition.
10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the soil is treated post-emergent.
11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein roots of the plant grown from the seed are of increased weight.
12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the shoot of the plant grown from the seed are of increased weight.
13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of between 25 g/ha and 250 g/ha indaziflam.
14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of between 50 g/ha and 200 g/ha indaziflam.
15. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the composition is applied at a rate of between 25 g/ha and 100 g/ha indaziflam.
16. The method according to claim 1 , wherein indaziflam is the only active component of the composition which promotes the root and the shoot growth of the plant and development.
