A METHOD FOR INCREASING THE YIELD OF CROPS USING BRASSINOLIDE

摘要

The yield of crops (such as rice, wheat, corn, potato, soybean and other like major crops) can be increased according to a method wherein plants capable of yielding such crops are treated at a specific stage in their growing period with brassinolide, i.e. (2 alpha ,3 alpha ,22R,23R)-tetrahydroxy-24S-methyl-B-homo-7-oxa-5 alpha -cholestan-6-one of the formula: IMAGE
