Claims
- 1. A plant growth regulating composition comprising as an active ingredient an epoxycyclohexane derivative represented by general formula (1): ##STR14## wherein R.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group or C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 cycloalkyl group, and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are independently C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl groups or are combined to form a C.sub.2 -C.sub.3 polymethylene group which may be substituted with a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group, and a brassinosteroid as active ingredients.
- 2. The plant growth regulating composition according to claim 1, wherein R.sup.1 is a propyl or isopropyl group, and R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are combined to form an ethylene group.
- 3. The plant growth regulating composition according to claim 1, wherein the brassinosteroid is a compound represented by general formula (2): ##STR15## wherein R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are independently C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl groups.
- 4. The plant growth regulating composition according to claim 1, wherein the composition is a germination growth accelerator.
- 5. The plant growth regulating composition according to claim 1, wherein the composition is a cold resistance enhancer.
- 6. The plant growth regulating composition according to claim 1, wherein the composition is an accelerator for growing, thickening or maturing fruits, roots, stems or bulbs.
- 7. A method of regulating plant growth comprising applying the composition according to claim 1 onto a plant.
- 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the regulation is acceleration of germination growth.
- 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the regulation is inhibition of transpiration and wilting.
- 10. The method of claim 7, wherein the regulation is enhanced cold resistance.
- 11. The method of claim 7, wherein the regulation is acceleration of growing, thickening or maturing fruits, roots, stems or bulbs.
- 12. The method of claim 7, wherein the regulation is acceleration of plant growth.
