Abstract

Description

Liquid biostimulator increasing resistance of agricultural plants to stress conditions
The subject of the invention is a liquid biostimulator, intended to be used in agricultural plants in order to increase their resistance to abiotic and biotic stress conditions.
Yield capacity of agricultural plants is influenced by many abiotic factors related to physical and chemical properties of soil, such as porosity, mineral ingredient content, water content and aeration, acidity as well as factors influencing parts of the plant located above the ground, such as temperature, humidity, air composition or light intensity. An unfavourable state of one or more of the aforementioned factors, e.g. soil draught, too low or too high air temperature result in a stress of the agricultural plant, the most prevalent symptom of which is retarded or completely stopped growth as well as various development disturbances. Unfavourable biotic factors related to natural world, and in particular - pathogenic microbes and pests may also disturb natural growth and development of agricultural plants, contributing to lower quantity and quality of harvested crops.
Agricultural plants produce many specific compounds they use as defence against stress factors, amongst other uses. Salicylic acid is one of important compounds of plants responsible for numerous physiological and biochemical processes, such as e.g. uptake of mineral ingredients, permeability of cell membranes and mitochondrial respiration. Salicylic acid also acts as a signalling substance, inducing a number of processes in plants, leading to their increased tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress factors.
Very low solubility of salicylic or acetylsalicylic acid in water is an important inconvenience, limiting practical use of these compounds on plants under agricultural conditions. This unfavourable physical property largely prevents correct preparation of a spraying liquid and its application on agricultural plants with commonly used hydraulic spraying equipment. In addition, droplets of the spraying liquid falling on hydrophobic plant surfaces are poorly retained therein, and salicylic or acetylsalicylic acid quickly crystallises after retention, limiting its penetration into plant cells, thus largely limiting its biostimulating activity. Thus, it would be preferable to use such formulation of the biostimulator containing salicylic acid or its derivatives which would ensure complete dissolution of these compounds in water used in preparation of the spraying liquid and would facilitate its application onto plants, retention on their surface and penetration into plant cells.
A number of soluble products containing salicylic or acetylsalicylic acid has been prepared, mainly intended for pharmaceutical and cosmetic uses. Unfortunately, many of these products do not find practical uses because of their toxicity to human beings and to environments (e.g. lithium salts of aspirine) because of adverse effects.
In a solution known from the US patent disclosure No 5776431, acetylsalicylic acid soluble in water and stable during storage was obtained by combining it with a mixture of potassium citrate monohydrate and sodium citrate dihydrate.
In the US patent disclosure No 66689964, a soluble form of salicylic acid intended for dermatological and cosmetic uses was obtained by mixing salicylic acid with organic solvents, including butyl alcohol, glycereth-26, glycereth-7 and a mixture of polyethylene glycols with molar mass of 200, 400 and 600 g.
An international patent application WO 0126464 discloses plant photosynthesis stimulators containing salicylic acid derivatives.
A Hungarian patent disclosure HU 209617 discloses plant protection measures and bioregulators containing salicylic acid derivatives.
A Polish patent no 202519 discloses an agricultural plant protection preparation in the form of a homogenous aqueous solution containing ascorbic acid as an ingredient alleviating plant stress.
The biostimulator according to the present invention is a liquid and water- soluble, homogenous mixture containing in its concentrated form: 1% to 40% wt. of salicylic acid or its derivative, in particular acetylsalicylic acid, 0.1% to 30% wt. of triethanolamine, 10% to 25% wt. of a non-ionic surfactantat selected from alkylpolyglycosides, and water. It was shown unexpectedly that even a small admixture of triethanoleamine enabled a homogenous formulation of the biostimulator to be obtained, resulted in complete dissolution of salicylic or acetylsalicylic acid in the formulation and ensured solution stability in the temperature range of -15 to +50° C for at least 360 days. Working concentrations of the biostimulator concentrate in the spraying liquid varies from 0.1% to 2%T Presence of a biodegradable surfactant selected from alkylpolyglycosides in the composition of the biostimulator largely facilitates retention of sprayed droplets on the surface of sprayed plants, ensures good coverage of said surface and increased penetration of salicylic acid or its derivative into plant cells. Use of a homogenous mixture of salicylic or acetylsalicylic acid and a non-ionic surfactant in the same package ensures significantly facilitated and accelerated preparation process of the spraying liquid. In contrast to other soluble formulations of salicylic acid or of its derivatives, the biostimulator according to the invention shows very favourable application-related properties, in addition to characteristics enabling its good biological action.
The invention is presented in the following examples, however, the examples do not exhaust all possible embodiments and applications thereof.
Example 1
250 g of triethanolamine, 200 g of acetylsalicylic acid, 250 g of a non-ionic surfactant selected from alkylpolyglycosides (commercial product GLUCOPON 650 EC by Cognis, Co. comprising a 50% aqueous solution of an alkylpolyglycoside surfactant) and 300 g of water were placed in a 1 L conical flask. The entire mixture was mixed at approximately 20°C for 10 minutes using a magnetic stirrer, until mixture ingredients formed a completely homogenous mixture. The biostimulator concentrate was obtained as a homogenous, clear solution of light yellow colour and density of 1.178 g/cm3, containing 20% wt. of pure acetylsalicylic acid, 25% wt. of pure triethanolamine, 12.5% wt. of a pure, non-ionic surfactant selected from alkylpolyglycosides, present in the Glucopon 650 EC commercial product, as well as 42.5% wt. of water. The obtained product with a code name "biostimulator" was used in field tests in order to evaluate its biostimulating activity.
Example 2
250 g of triethanolamine, 200 g of salicylic acid, 250 g of a non-ionic surfactant selected from alkylpolyglycosides (commercial product GLUCOPON 650 EC by Cognis, Co. comprising a 50% aqueous solution of an alkylpolyglycoside surfactant) and 300 g of water were placed in a 1 L conical flask. The entire mixture was mixed at approximately 20°C for 10 minutes using a magnetic stirrer, until mixture ingredients formed a completely homogenous mixture. The biostimulator concentrate was obtained as a homogenous, clear solution of light yellow colour and density of 1.176 g/cm3, containing 20% wt. of pure salicylic acid, 25% wt. of pure triethanolamine, 12.5% wt. of a pure, non-ionic surfactant selected from alkylpolyglycosides, present in the Glucopon 650 EC commercial product, as well as 42.5% wt. of water.
Example 3
75 g of triethanolamine, 50 g of salicylic acid, 500 g of a non-ionic surfactant selected from alkylpolyglycosides (commercial product GLUCOPON 650 EC by Cognis, Co. comprising a 50% aqueous solution of an alkylpolyglycoside surfactant) and 375 g of water were placed in a 1 L conical flask. The entire mixture was mixed at approximately 20°C for 10 minutes using a magnetic stirrer, until mixture ingredients formed a completely homogenous mixture. The biostimulator concentrate was obtained as a homogenous, clear solution of light yellow colour, containing 5.0% wt. of pure acetylsalicylic acid, 7.5% wt. of pure triethanolamine, 25%) wt. of a pure, non-ionic surfactant selected from alkylpolyglycosides, present in the Glucopon 650 EC commercial product, as well as 62.5% wt. of water.
Example 4
The biostimulator obtained in Example 1 was leaf-applied to sugar beet as a bioassay crop cultivated under field conditions. The tests were performed in 2008 in the Experimental Station Stary Sielec comprising a part of Institute of Natural Fibres and Medicinal Plants in Poznan. The plot field experiment was the randomized block design with four replicates per treatment. The biostimulator was applied at the 8-leaf stage of sugar beet at two doses: 1.0 and 2.0 L/ha using a hydraulic sprayer delivering 200 L/ha of spray liquid in which working concentration of the biostimulator concentrate was 0.5% and 1%, respectively. A significant rainfall deficit occurred during the 2008 vegetation season, which resulted in a soil draught during the May- July period. Under such conditions, the biostimulator comprising the subject of the present invention displayed a very positive influence on sugar beet growth and development as well as on its root and leaf yields. Data presented in Table 1 show that the biostimulator applied at the dosage of 1 L/ha increased the total sugar beet yield by 36.4%, yield of roots by 28.2%) and yield of leaves by 64.9% in comparison to the untreated control plants.
An increase of the biostimulator dose from 1 to 2 L/ha did not result in an additional, significant increase of yield of the tested crop.
