Abstract
Abstract Monaza amines and/or amides having a 5 membered ring containing 4 carbon atoms or a 6 membered ring containing 5 carbon atoms, in which the nitrogen atom is bonded to hydrogen, alkyl of from 1 to 3 carbon atoms or hydroxyalkyl of from 1 to 3 carbon atoms; which compounds function as agents for inhibiting in vivo formation of ethylene in plant biochemical processes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
37 words
The process of inhibiting ethylene generated by a plant, which comprises contacting said plant with an effective amount of the composition of a monaza compound selected from the group of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and 2-pyrrolidone and inert carrier therefor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
37 words
The process of inhibiting ethylene generated by a plant, which comprises contacting said plant with an effective amount of the composition of a monaza compound selected from the group of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and 2-pyrrolidone and inert carrier therefor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the plant is contacted with said composition before reaching full maturity.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the plant is contacted with between about 0.001 and about 0.2 grams per plant of the monaza compound in the composition.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
10 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the carrier is water.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the carrier is an organic liquid.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
12 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the carrier is a granulated solid.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the concentration of said monaza compound in the inert carrier is between about 150 ppm and about 5,000 ppm.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
24 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the concentration of said monaza compound in the inert carrier is between about 500 and about 3,500 ppm.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the concentration of said monaza compound in the inert carrier is not more than 3,000 ppm.
