Title:
PROCESS FOR PROTECTING PLANTS FROM FROST INDURY AND COMPOSITION FOR CARRYING OUT SAME CONTAINING HYDROXAM DERIVATIVES AS EFFECTIVE COMPONENT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPS5298158
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To protect plants against frost damage, the plants, or parts of plants, to be protected are treated before the incidence of frost or the beginning of winter with a composition which contains, as the ingredient which imparts frost resistance, a hydroxamic acid derivative of the formula in which R1 is optionally substituted C3-C17-alkyl or C5-C7-cycloalkyl or optionally substituted phenyl and R2 and R3 in each case denote hydrogen, C1-C5-alkyl, alkylcarbonyl or arylcarbonyl, but in which R3 can also be the equivalent of a metal, ammonium or quaternary ammonio cation. The process and the composition are particularly suitable for protecting fruit plantations, vegetables and ornamentals, the preferably used hydroxamic acid derivatives being t-C4H9-CO-NHOH and CH3(CH2)4-CO-NHOH.
