Ethylene management in plants using synergistic agrochemicals comprising diacyl or diarylurea and at least one metal complex

摘要

A synergistic agricultural formulation comprising at least one diacyl or diaryl urea such as N, N'-diformylurea and at least a metal complex, for example a metal complex of cobalt, nickel, silver or other metal, It is applied to plants at physiologically sensitive times and results in complete ethylene reduction. Such synergistic agricultural formulations give the skilled artisan the ability to control important phenotypic parameters leading to several important crop and horticultural traits that improve crop yield parameters over individual components thereof.
