- the invention is first discussed in relation to root feeding.
- acetyl salicylic acid it will be understood that salts thereof could be used instead.
- root feeding seedlings although the acetyl salicylic acid may be added continuously, it is preferable that, after the initial feeding with acetyl salicylic acid, there be a period of time when feeding of the seedlings with the acetyl salicylic acid is discontinued. Disease-inducing pests may be introduced to "inoculate" the plants.
- the seeds first be soaked in a solution of colchicine until the seed just start to sprout.
- the colchicine increases the vigour and symmetry of the resulting plant .
- a suitable concentration of colchicine in water is from about 0.05 to about 0.15 wt . /wt . % .
- the sprouting seeds are preferably put into a rooting medium.
- a rooting medium which is useful and commonly used, especially in hydroponic methods, is known as rockwool .
- Each sprouting seed is placed on a small rockwool cube, eg. 2.5cm x 2.5cm.
- a plurality of such rockwool cubes are placed on a table which permits water or nutrient solutions to feed the seedlings.
- a preferred table is set up to provide an ebb and flow hydroponic system. It is believed that an ebb and flow system promotes better growth than a continuous feeding system.
- the seeds on the rockwool cubes the sprouting seeds are placed on the table, the seeds are then root fed until the plants which grow from the seeds reach maturity. The duration depends on the type of seeds being grown.
- the growing seedlings and plants are root fed with a solution of nutrients, at least one plant growth hormone or plant growth hormonelike compound, a mixture of B Vitamins, and acetyl salicylic acid or its salts.
- acetyl salicylic acid is added to the solution, wither for the whole period or time, or preferably in spaced apart segments of time.
- the nutrients are selected from those commonly used to fertilize plants. Generally the nutrients are selected from ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, calcium nitrate, potassium sulphate, magnesium sulphate, and monopotassium phosphate. There may also be nitric acid and/or trace elements . The ratios and concentrations of each nutrient in the nutrient solution will depend on the type of plant that is being fed, as will be understood by those skilled in the art. The nutrient solution is selected to initially provide optimum conditions for rooting and then for blooming. After blooming, the nutrient solution may be changed to one which is more conducive to providing optimum conditions for fruit and seed production. If the plants are being grown without regard to blooming, i.e.
- concentrations of ammonium nitrate may be in the range of 0 to 0.006wt . /wt . %, potassium nitrate in the range of 0 to 0.1 wt./wt%, potassium sulphate in the range of 0 to 0.03 wt./wt.%, magnesium sulphate in the range of 0 to 0.05 wt . /wt . % and monopotassium phosphate in the range of 0 to 0.03 wt./wt%.
- Other ingredients may be added to control pH, and trace elements may also be present .
- the growth hormone may be a cytokinin, auxin or gibberellins, naphthalenic acid, naphthalene acetic acid, indole 3 butyric acid, indole 3 acetic acid, water soluble salts thereof, and mixtures thereof. Cytokinins are preferable .

- the first introduction is believed to trigger the immune system of the plant .
- a second application of acetyl salicylic acid may be made in the fifth or sixth week of growth.
- a higher concentration of acetyl salicylic acid is used, e.g. 1 to 9 grams per 200 litres of solution.
- the acetyl salicylic acid preferably is not administered constantly, but at intervals as described above, for best results. Too much acetyl salicylic acid leads to mutation of the plant.
- disease- inducing pests are introduced early in the growth cycle. Although they can be introduced prior to the first application of acetyl salicylic acid, it is best to introduce them during or after the first application of acetyl salicylic acid.
- the pests must be introduced before buds start to flower. Pests such as mealy bugs, white flies, moulds, spider mites and other predators may be introduced to the plants, depending on the immunity trait that is wished to be induced in the plant.
- the pests become a nuisance, e.g. in a greenhouses, then they can be removed using natural predators such as bees, hover flies, tachinid flies, green lace wings, praying mantis, ladybugs (ladybirds), ground beetles.
- natural predators such as bees, hover flies, tachinid flies, green lace wings, praying mantis, ladybugs (ladybirds), ground beetles.
- pyrethrum was used in an attempt to remove pest insects and a large proportion of the seedlings died.
- the seeds are collected for planting future generations . Such seeds have been found to be resistant to the diseases which had been introduced in the process of the present invention.
- the present method be applied in hydroponic growing situations for best results.
- the method can be used in field situations, especially where there is an irrigation system which is adapted to feed the seedlings and plants relatively continuously .
- Test have been conducted in field situations without treating the seeds with colchicine but with regularly feeding the plants with a solution of the present invention and without deliberate introduction of pests. In such situations, the plants have been more vigorous than similar plants which have not been fed with solution of the present invention.
- the plants When leaf feeding plants, the plants may be sprayed with a solution of the present invention, at intervals, e.g. daily.
- a patch of hemp plants were grown using a solution of the present invention and compared with a control patch of hemp plants which were watered only, relying on soil ' nutrients only to supply the nutrients for growth.
- the hemp plants which were sprayed with a solution of the present invention were more vigorous, grew faster and taller, less prone to disease, were greener and generally more healthy than the control plants.
- the present invention provides disease-resistant seeds . Clearly they may be used in any situation but in locations where plants are grown hydroponically, infestations with spider mites, moulds and other pests have been a particular problem.
- the present invention should reduce the need for crop insurance because of the greater immunity and desirability of the plants.
- the solution of the present invention has utility in the treatment of seedlings and plants.
- the inventor believes that there is a corollary with respect to animals in that damaged or cancerous cells are akin to the introduction of the disease-inducing pests in plants and that improved immunity can be obtained by adding suitable nutrients, plant growth hormones and acetylsalicylic acid.
