The following may be mentioned a~ ~ubstances not, on their own, ha~ing any defoliating and~or growth-regulating activity, but bei~g ~uitable a~ the basically reactive subw 6tances ~or the preparation~ and ~ethods vf the pr~ent ~nvention:
alkali h~droxides~ for ex~mple sodium and potas~ium hydroxide~
amine~, ~or example alkylamines~ for e~æmple triethylamine, alkanolamlne3, for example diethanolamine, triethanolamine and triisopropanolamine 7 and hexamethylenetetra~ine~
carbonate~ 7 for example sodium carbonate, potassium car-bonate and ammonium carbonate, phosphates, ~or example tertiary pho~phates, for example trisodium phosphate and tripota~sium phosphate 7 and pyro pho~phates, ~or example tetrasodium pyrophosphate and -tetrapotassium pyrophosphate, alkali salt~ o~ mo_ carbox~lic acids, ~or example sodium I oleate.
It is preferable to u~a basically reactive substance~
that adjust the preparations of the present invention and the mi~ture~ used in the methods of the precent invention to a p~-value o~ more than 8, pre~erably within the range : of ~rom 9.5 to 11.5.
Surprisingly, the mixture~ of the defoliating and/or growth-regulatin.g compounds and the basically reactive sub~tances when u~ed according to the present ~nventlon have an act~on that i~ greater than that of the individual components. ~he~ are therefore especially suitable for the de~oliatio~ o~ cotton plants whereby, in an ideal manner, the use o~ picking machines for boll harvesting i~ rendered pos~ible.
Other plant~ can, however, also be advantageousl~
defoliated a~d/or in~luenced in their growth, as example~
o~ which there may be mentioned the promotion of bushiness 7 .
for~ation of ~ide-ahQots~ and ;nhibition o~ root growth i~
the case o~ grasse and dicotyleaons, ~or example hibiscu~, apple tree3 and other woody plant~. ~here~ore the prepara-tions according to the present invention can be used adva~-tageou~ly both ~or defoliating plant~ and al~o for regulat-ing their growth~
; It i~ known to the man sk~lled i~ the art that defoliation i~ not a herbicidal action and that it i9 not desired actually tG kill the tre~ted plànts because the leaves still remain a-ttached to the dead plant~ and the productive parts o~ the plant can be damaged. ~he aim oP
de*oliation, that iY to facilitate harve~ting and to obtain a purer harvested cropf can be 108t as a re~ult o~ this.
It i9 there~ore necessary ~or the plant~ to remain alive while the leaves are becoming detaehed and falli.~g of~, Thi~ permits the further development o~ the productive part~
of the plant while the re-growth of new leave~ i~ prevented.
The mixtures u~ed in accordance with the present invention achieve all thase aims in an advantageous manner 80 that it can be assumed that the prior art is far e~ceeded~
~he mixt~re v~ the defoliating and/or growth-regulating compound and the basically reactive substance i~ accordance with the present in~ention can also be u~ed i~ admixture with other active substa~ces 9 ~or example de~oliating agent~, plant-protecting agents and/or pesticide~ depending on the : desired purp~e. Thus, the preparations o~ the present in~ention may contain such further active substance~.
The action and the speed o~ action can also be promoted, ~or e~ample by actio~-increasing additive~, for example organic solvents~ wetting agents and oils. Thi~ permit~
a ~urther decrease in the quantity of the ac~ual activ~
substance~ u~ed.

These preparations may be applied either direct~y or a~ter dilution with water to the plants to ~e treated~
The p~-value of the~e preparations is of special importance for potentiating the action of the esse~tial compo~ents a~d should advantageously be greater tha~ 8, pre~erably within the range o~ from 9.5 to llo 5. It thus represents a special embodiment o~ the present invention.
~ he ~ollowing Examplee illustrate the inventio~. The E~amples are based on greenhou~e test~ that were generally carried out on cotton plant~ hav~ng ~rom 5 to 8 true ~oliage 20 leavesO The mixtures of tke defol~ating and~or growth-: regulating compound and the basicall~ reactive substa~ce were applied in the ~orm o~ ~queous preparations ba~ed on the compo~ition~ described abo~e~
The test~ i~ E~a~ples 1 to 13 were evaluated by count-ing the number Q~ leave~ shed after the application and bycalculating the proportio~ as a percentage of the total ~umber o~ leave~. In the individual tests~ the ~ame number of lea~e~ was alwaye available per test member. The number o~ leave~ per te~t member var~ed from te~t to test between 20 and 28 ~oliage leave~ per test member.
The following EY.amples 1 to 13 contain information on the active substance, basically reactive ~ub~tance, mixture, quantity applied, and the percentage de~oliation determined.
In some case~ there i~ ~ndicated in brackete a~ter the per-centage de~oliation obtained bg the combinations, the value calculated according to the method de~cribed by S.R~ Colby which would be expected in the case o~ an additive action [~.R. Colby "Calculating Synergistic and ~ntagonistic Re~ponses o~ ~erbicide Combinatio~" Weed~ 15/1 (1967) pO 20-22].
This calculation wa~ ~ade according to the follo~ing equation:

in which X = percentage defoliatio~ with substance A u~i~g p kg o~ active sub~ta~ce/ha Y = percentage defoliatio~ with ~ubstance B u~i~g q kg o~ active ~ub~tance/ha E = e~pected de~oliation bg A + B u8ing p + ~ kg/ha If the value observed iB greater than the value ~
