Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9940790A1] Application of an aqueous solution containing a matrix polymer and oligomers of chitosan to the foliage of growing plants increases the yield of vegetables, tubers, cereal grains, fruits, and blossoms. Plants so treated are healthier, sturdier, more resistant to drought, and many varieties enjoy an extended period of production. The plants may be effectively and conveniently treated by spraying the foliage with a solution containing 0.005 % to 5.0 % by weight matrix polymer and chitosan oligomers in such amount that the weight ratio of chitosan oligomers to matrix polymer is 0.01 to 10.0.
