Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
A composition for regulating plant metabolism in the nature of promoting fruit abscission comprising as active ingredient, an effective non-phytotoxic amount of a compound of the formula ##SPC4## wherein R 1 represents alkyl or alkenyl each of up to 4 carbon atoms or phenyl optionally substituted by chlorine, nitro or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R 2 represents alkyl or alkenyl each of up to 4 carbon atoms, together with a suitable inert carrier therefor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
78 words
A composition for regulating plant metabolism in the nature of promoting fruit abscission comprising as active ingredient, an effective non-phytotoxic amount of a compound of the formula ##SPC4## wherein R 1 represents alkyl or alkenyl each of up to 4 carbon atoms or phenyl optionally substituted by chlorine, nitro or alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and R 2 represents alkyl or alkenyl each of up to 4 carbon atoms, together with a suitable inert carrier therefor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein in said active ingredient R 1 represents methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, sec. butyl, allyl or phenyl optionally substituted by chlorine, nitro, methyl or ethyl, and R 2 represents alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or allyl.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
11 words
The composition of claim 1, wherein said active ingredient is 1-methyl-2,4,5-trioxoimidazolidine-3-carboxylic-acid-n-propylamide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words
A process for regulating plant metabolism in the nature of promoting fruit abscission which comprises applying to said plant an effective non-phytotoxic amount of a 2,4,5-trioxo-imidazolidine-3-carboxylic acid amide according to claim 1.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process of claim 4, wherein the acid amide corresponds to the formula of claim 2.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
11 words
The process of claim 4, wherein said acid amide is 1-methyl-2,4,5-trioxo-imidazolidine-3-carboxylic-acid-n-propylamide.
