Abstract

See full text

The present invention is directed to a new matter of composition in the form of chemical compounds and to a method for enhancing plant growth and the properties exhibited by plants treated with the compounds in accordance with this method. In particular, application of the compounds results in an increase in sugar content, essential oils and proteins along with an increase in total plant biomass. Fruits harvested from treated plants exhibit an accelerated biochemical and structural maturity. Citrus fruits typically show a reduced peel thickness and exhibit significant improvements in vitamin C, carotenoid, and essential oil contents. The methods of the present invention produce balanced improvements in the structural, biochemical, and sensory quality of Citrus fruits.
