Description

FIELD OF INVENTION

The présent invention relates to a method for protection and promoting nutrition of a plant. In particular, the invention relates to a method for stimulating and promoting growth of a plant and for increasing the yield and quality of the crop.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

Sustainable agriculture is farming in sustainable ways, which means meeting society's food needs, without compromising the ability of future générations to meet their needs. It can be based on an understanding of ecosystem services. It includes 10 environmental stewardship, faimess, health, business and familial aspects on a farm setting. There are many methods to increase the sustainability of agriculture. Sustainability focuses on the business process and practice of a farm in general, rather than a spécifie agricultural product.

Agriculture has an enormous environmental footprint; it is simultaneously causing 15 environmental changes and being impacted by these changes. If the human population increase does not abate an increase in food production will be required. Sustainable agriculture provides a potential solution to enable agricultural Systems to feed a growing population within the changing environmental conditions.

The sustainable agriculture can be defined as an integrated System of plant and 20 animal production practices having a site-specific application that will, over the long term satisfy human food and fiber needs, enhance environmental quality and the natural resource based upon which the agriculture economy dépends; make the most efficient use of non-renewable resources and on-farm resources and integrate, where appropriate, natural biological cycles and Controls; sustain the économie 25 viability of farm operations; enhance the quality of life for farmers and society as a whole.

There is a desirous need in the society for continuous research to be conducted on sustainable agriculture to corne up with agricultural practice which leads to sustainable growth with minimum environmental impact, enhance the plant 30 protection and benefit the farmers.

Nutrient contribute for efficient nutrition of plants when nutrition from soil is inefficient and to correct deficiencies during development, flowering and fruit production. Plant growth stimulators are used to increase biomass, manage the rate of growth and to increase yield and quality of the crops. These products are also 5 used to manage abiotic stresses such as cold stress, drought stress, and the like. In many horticultural and agricultural applications, plant growth regulators (growth inhibitors or growth stimulants) are applied for a variety of reasons.

One of the challenges of modem agriculture is to address the social demand for sustainability, quality, and safety in agricultural production and to adapt itself to the 10 world population increase by improving yields and crop tolérance to a changing environment.

Biosolutions can be used to improve plant nutrition, which impacts yield and quality parameters. Plant biostimulants are used to treat crops in a commercial setting in view of their ability to increase growth rates, increase stress tolérance, increase 15 photosynthetic rate and increase disease tolérance. Plant biostimulants are generally believed to operate by up- regulating or down-regulating key biological pathway genes.

Extrême températures, irregular rainfall and other stressful growing conditions related to climate change require résilient crops. Biostimulants or biological control 20 agents used to increase plant tolérance and recovery from abiotic stresses. This means a higher retum on investment for farmers and better use of the natural resources from which many crop nutrition products are derived. Biostimulants help to protect and improve soil health by fostering the development of bénéficiai soil microorganisms. Healthier soil retains water more effectively and better resists 25 érosion. Increasing yields is at the heart of farmers' concems. However, the yield dépends greatly on the good development of the plant and therefore its growth, as well as its good health is important.

There is a need to obtain a better quality of the final fruit or grain obtained, translated, for example, by the size of the fruit of the plants or by the nutritional 30 quality obtained in the fruit or grain, resulting in a harvest of great appréciation of the agricultural commodity. Further it is desired to hâve greatest quantity of fruit or grain produced and improved crop yield of the crop. Furthermore, it is important that a significant réduction of the time of harvest, in the form of obtaining the accélération of the closing of the planting lines, with early flowering of the crop plant, which, consequently, anticipâtes obtaining the fruit or grain at its optimum 5 harvest point. However, from the économie point of view, the optimum results obtained from a crop, in qualitative, quantitative and temporal aspects, must be considered as the impérative desire to minimize the économie risks to agricultural producers.

Therefore, new agriculture products and unique methods for improving the plant 10 growth and development as well as crop yield are needed. The présent invention thus provides a complété solution from pre-sowing to post- harvest for agriculture. The présent inventor, with an expertise in technological development in the agricultural sector identified the farmers need to potentiate the results of a crop, under the qualitative, quantitative and temporal orders, considering the unavoidable 15 fact that the agricultural crop plants of interest are subject to biotic and / or abiotic factors.

The présent invention therefore provided a sustainable agriculture method and a complété package of solution to the farmers/growers that provide qualitative, quantitative results with good development of the plant.

In accordance with the présent invention, an 'improvement in plant vigour' means that certain traits are improved qualitatively or quantitatively when compared with the same trait in a control plant which has been grown under the same conditions in the absence of the method of the invention. Such traits include, but are not limited to, early and/or improved germination, improved emergence, the ability to use less ¹⁵ .

seeds, increased root growth, a more developed root System, in- creased root nodulation, increased shoot growth, increased tillering, stronger tillers, more productive tillers, increased or improved plant stand, less plant verse (lodging), an increase and/or improvement in plant height, an increase in plant weight (fresh or dry), bigger leaf blades, greener leaf colour, increased pigment content, increased 20 photosynthetic activity, earlier flowering, longer panicles, early grain maturity, increased seed, fruit or pod size, increased pod or ear number, increased seed number per pod or ear, increased seed mass, enhanced seed filling, less dead basal leaves, delay of senescence, improved vitality of the plant, increased levels of amino acids in storage tissues and/or less inputs needed (e.g. less fertiliser, water 25 and/or labour needed). A plant with improved vigour may hâve an increase in any of the aforementioned traits or any combination or two or more of the aforementioned traits.

In accordance with the présent invention, an 'improvement in plant quality' means that certain traits are improved qualitatively or quantitatively when compared with 30 the same trait in a control plant which has been grown under the same conditions in the absence of the method of the invention. Such traits include, but are not limited to, improved visual appearance of the plant, reduced ethylene (reduced production and/or inhibition of réception), improved quality of harvested material, e.g. seeds, fruits, leaves, vegetables (such improved quality may manifest as improved visual appearance of the harvested material), improved carbohydrate content (e.g. increased quantities of sugar and/or starch, improved sugar acid ratio, réduction of reducing sugars, increased rate of development of sugar), improved protein content, improved oil content and composition, improved nutritional value, réduction in anti-nutritional compounds, improved organoleptic properties (e.g. improved taste) and/or improved consumer health benefits (e.g. increased levels of vitamins and anti-oxidants), improved post-harvest characteristics (e.g. enhanced shelf-life and/or storage stability, easier processability, easier extraction of compounds), more homogenous crop development (e.g. synchronised germination, flowering and/or fruiting of plants), and/or improved seed quality (e.g. for use in following seasons). A plant with improved quality may hâve an increase in any of the aforementioned traits or any combination or two or more of the aforementioned traits.

In accordance with the présent invention, an 'improved tolérance to stress factors' means that certain traits are improved qualitatively or quantitatively when compared with the same trait in a control plant which has been grown under the same conditions in the absence of the method of the invention. Such traits include, but are not limited to, an increased tolérance and/or résistance to abiotic stress factors which cause sub-optimal growing conditions such as drought (e.g. any stress which leads to a lack of water content in plants, a lack of water uptake potential or a réduction in the water supply to plants), cold exposure, heat exposure, osmotic stress, UV stress, flooding, increased salinity (e.g. in the soil), increased minerai exposure, ozone exposure, high light exposure and/or limited availability of nutrients (e.g. nitrogen and/or phosphorus nutrients). A plant with improved tolérance to stress factors may hâve an increase in any of the aforementioned traits or any combination or two or more of the aforementioned traits. In the case of drought and nutrient stress, such improved tolérances may be due to, for example, more efficient uptake, use or rétention of water and nutrients.
