Methods of treating plants with glycolic acid to reduce the effects of plant stress

Methods for increasing the resistance of a plant to the effects of plant stress utilising glycolic acid, a salt, or a mixture thereof, are described. Methods for stimulating plant growth utilising an ammonium salt of glycolic acid are also described. Further described are methods for stimulating mic...

Zusammenfassung:	Methods for increasing the resistance of a plant to the effects of plant stress utilising glycolic acid, a salt, or a mixture thereof, are described. Methods for stimulating plant growth utilising an ammonium salt of glycolic acid are also described. Further described are methods for stimulating microbial growth utilising selected amounts of glycolic acid, a salt, or a mixture thereof. Fig. 1 is a graph showing the fresh weight of cabbage after being treated with the indicated concentrations (in ppm, on a weight/volume basis) of Auxigro(r) (F03, a 1: 1: 1 solution of y-aminobutyric acid, glutamic acid and casein hydrolysate), glycolic acid (F12) or ammonia-neutralised glycolic acid (F18). NTC, non-treated control surf ctrl, surfactant control (surfactant is Breakthru(r), a silicone-based surfactant) ; a, b, c, cd, and d represent Duncan groupings.
