Utilization of compositions which contain menadione for the biostimulation of plant metabolism in order to induce their resistance to pathogens and pests and/or accelerate their blooming

摘要

Application of compositions which contain as active components vitamin K3 and/or at least one of their water-soluble derivatives, preferably menadione sodium bisulfite (MSB), and/or at least one of their derivatives having a low water solubility, preferably menadione nicotinamide bisulfite (MNB), and are in the form of an aquous solution which contains at least one of the following active components: a) 0.0001 to 200 ppm of vitamin K3; b) 0.001 to 10000 ppm of a water soluble K3 vitamin derivative, preferably a bisulfite; c) 0.001 to 10000 ppm of a K3 vitamin derivative having a low water solubility, preferably a bisulfite; these compositions are intended to biostimulate the metabolism of plants in order to induce their resistance to pathogens and pests and/or advance the blooming of plants. In a preferred embodiment, the compositions are sprayed on banana trees.
