Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a composition for physiologically inhibiting pod shattering and to a method using the composition.
  • oilseed rape and canola are important sources of seed-derived oils in Europe, North America, Australasia and elsewhere, the oils being used extensively in the food industry and for biodiesel production.
  • Oilseed rape is a recently domesticated plant and retains some of the traits of its wild ancestors which were useful as a wild plant but not as a commercial crop, including the splitting of the fruit (silique or "seed pod") when mature in order to effect seed dispersal.
  • valves of a silique are fused to a central replum via a valve margin. This structure facilitates pod opening and the release of seeds.
  • the splitting of the two valves of the silique results in shedding of the seeds and is called pod shattering. This process can occur before the crop is harvested and leads to average seed yield losses of 20-25 % and up to 70 , as well as a concomitant fall in oil content of the harvested seeds.
  • Pod shattering is also exhibited by other brassica crops such as mustard, radish and turnip rape and by legumes such as pea, bean, clover, soybean as well as some other seed crops, for example, linseed.
  • pod shattering losses i.e. ripening variation within crop, lodging, poor weather at harvesting or drought during crop growth.
  • the first- formed pods are most susceptible to shattering. These pods will be the most mature and will shatter first. Some of the negative consequences of pod shattering in, for example, oilseed rape are that more of the seeds harvested will be low in oil content which will result in a reduced price being paid to the farmer for the seed.
  • steps are routinely taken to accelerate and synchronise pod maturity by killing the crop by windrowing or with a desiccant (usually a herbicide), but this has the added problem of generating a seed sample with a higher than acceptable percentage of green seeds which negatively affects oil quality and can lead to rejection of the seed sample.
  • a desiccant usually a herbicide
  • late herbicide (i.e. desiccant) applications to crops increase the risk of detectable herbicide residues in harvested seed grain, potentially leading to breaches of maximum residue limits.
  • pod shattering also results in additional indirect costs to the grower.
  • the shed seed results in self-sown (“volunteer”) oilseed rape plants growing in the next year's crop, which creates further expense due to the need for increased herbicide use.
  • Such self-sown oilseed rape plants cause losses due to competition with subsequent crop and cause problems for farmers using reduced-tillage strategies such as no-till, zone-till, and strip tillage.
  • the self-sown plants provide food and shelter for slugs, which become a greater problem in the following crop, requiring increased molluscicide usage and resulting in reduced seed yields.
  • pod sticker and pod sealant agents Commercial products for reducing pod shattering include pod sticker and pod sealant agents. These commercial products work by physically preventing the valves from separating, either by gluing the valves together or by forming a lattice around the pods.
  • US 4,447,984 discloses pod sticker agents based on pine resin, with the active ingredients being pinolene products based on di-l-/?-menthene and US2013/0061520 teaches low-viscosity carboxymethyl cellulose for sealing pods.
  • pod sticker and pod sealant agents which are contact in action, need to be applied when all the pods are near fully formed as their action is to coat the pods. This limits the application date of these products to within 6 weeks of harvest at the latest. It also means that high- volume spraying is necessary to reach all the pods, particularly in dense canopies. Side effects arise with commercial products incorporating pine resin, such as stickiness of the coating. The pod shattering reducing effect also wears off with time and can be dependent on weather conditions.
  • Physical desiccation entails windrowing or swathing, which involves cutting mature crop and allowing it to dry before harvesting the seed.
  • Chemical desiccation involves spraying the crop just before maturity with contact herbicides such as diquat or the systemic herbicide glyphosate. Desiccation before maturity accelerates senescence but results in smaller seeds, lower oil content and possibly reduced oil quality as a result of excessive green seeds in the sample.
  • the invention provides a composition for inhibiting pod shattering, the composition comprising a salt of phosphorous acid.
  • the composition according to the invention physiologically inhibits the splitting of the two valves of the pod.
  • Treatment of plants with the composition maximises the recovery of the first-formed seeds and hence maximises the oil content of the seeds.
  • the composition according to the invention can be applied before pods are formed, unlike pod stickers or sealants.
  • the salt of phosphorous acid is preferably selected from among potassium, ammonium, sodium, aluminium, calcium, copper, zinc and magnesium salt and mixtures thereof.
  • the salt of phosphorous acid is not limited to these particular salts. Any agriculturally acceptable salts of phosphorous acid are included within the scope of the invention.
  • phosphites also known as phosphonates
  • potassium hydrogen phosphonate KH2PO3
  • dipotassium phosphonate K2HPO3

  • copper(II)phosphite Cu3 ⁇ 4IP03)2
  • ZnHP03 zinc phosphite
  • MgHP03 magnesium phosphite
  • Phosphite is known to induce resistance against crop pathogens which are caused by oomycetes.
  • Oomycete diseases of oilseed rape include downy mildew, white rust and damping off. This effect is unrelated to the unexpected pod shatter reduction effect which is the subject of the present invention.
  • the composition comprises approximately 1 to 25 % w/v phosphonates, preferably 12 % w/v.
  • the composition comprises 12 % w/v potassium phosphonates.
  • the composition according to the invention is aqueous.
  • the effect of the composition according to the invention does not wear off with time as it is an internal, rather than external effect. As a result, the potential reduction in pod shattering is greater than with sticker and sealant agents.
  • Adjuvants which can be mixed with agrochemicals to increase their efficacy include spreaders (which reduce the surface tension to improve uptake of the agrochemical) such as organosilicones, fatty amine ethoxylates, alkylaryl ethoxylates and alcohol alkoxylates and stickers (which increase the period of rainfastness of the agrochemical) such as aapoe.
  • Adjuvants work on the interaction between the leaf/pod surface (epidermis) and the agrochemical.
  • the known pod sticker and sealant products also work on the outside of the pod, so adjuvants may interfere with the effectiveness of the sticker/sealant.
  • the prescribed application date of pod stickers and sealants before desiccant application may result in the treatment preventing uptake of the desiccant into the plant.
  • the composition according to the invention can be mixed with adjuvants such as spreaders to increase efficacy.
  • composition according to the invention reduces pod shattering in all crops which produce pods which dehisce.
  • Dehiscence is the splitting at maturity along a natural line of weakness in a plant structure in order to release its contents.
  • Plants which dehisce include oilseed rape (spring and winter varieties) and other brassica crops such as mustard, radish and turnip rape; linseed, and legumes such as field pea, lupin and field bean. Of these, oilseed rape is by far the most economically important crop.
  • Oilseed rape can be further segregated into double low varieties, high erucic acid rape (HEAR) varieties and high oleic, low linolenic fatty acid profile (HO, LL) varieties.
  • Double low varieties are the most commonly grown in Ireland and typically have oil content of 43- 44%. Double low varieties are grown for the food market and have low erucic acid content, less than 2% of measured fatty acid and low glucosinolates with less than 35 mmol/kg in the meal.
  • HEAR varieties are more specialised and are generally grown for specialist markets including bio-fuels and are regarded as non-food crops.
  • HO, LL varieties are healthier for human consumption and have high stable oil for the food processing industry.
  • soybean Another major field crop which can benefit is soybean which suffers from pod shattering in tropical climates or where cycles of drying and wetting occur. This phenomenon is expected to become more important as climate change takes hold.
  • One of the major pathogens of soybean is Phytophthora sojae, an oomycete, which causes root and stem rot of soybean and increased resistance to this disease is expected to occur as a side-effect of applying the composition of the present invention to soybean crops.
  • composition according to the invention works by preventing dehiscence of the two valves of the silique. Plants sprayed as early as first flower, i.e. before the pods form, produce pods which are much less susceptible to pod shattering.

  • Brassica, Glycine, Pisum, Raphanus, Sinapis, Gossypium and Vigna plants may be treated.

  • the invention provides a method for inhibiting pod shattering or increasing grain yield in a plant, the method comprising the application of a composition as described herein to a growing plant.
  • Increasing grain yield should be understood to mean an increase in the yield of grain obtained from the treated plant compared with an untreated control plant.
  • growing plant By growing plant is meant a plant which is in a growth stage selected from among the vegetative stages of rosette stage, bud stage and the reproductive stages of flower, ripening and maturation, preferably from rosette stage to green pod stage.

  • Example 7 In commercial fields, oilseed rape crops are desiccated before maturity, resulting in smaller seeds and lower oil content.
  • the composition of Example 4 would further increase yields by delaying harvesting to maturity. It is not normally desirable to delay harvesting until the crop is mature because ripe pods are very susceptible to shattering and late in the season poorer weather exacerbates shattering. However, crops sprayed with the composition according to the invention would be shattering resistant so that harvesting could be delayed until the pods are ripe, thus maximising seed yield and oil content and quality without risk of pod shattering and seed loss.

  • a sample of 20 intact mature fully ripe pods were harvested from each replicate plot (6-12 replicates per treatment), the pods were collected at random from the main stem of the raceme and adjusted to a common moisture content of 15 %.
  • Each of the twenty pods were placed in a plastic lidded container (20 cm diameter x 14 cm height) with 30 x 8 mm diameter steel balls. The container was placed on a reciprocal shaker, shaking in a horizontal plane at 300 ppm.
  • the number of opened pods in the container was counted and the percentage of open pods ( , y-axis) was plotted against time (s, x-axis). The time (s) taken for 50 % of the pods to open was recorded as the RIT score. As can be seen from Figure 6, treatment with 0.375 litres diluted in 600 litres of water/hectare gave the highest RIT measurement.
  • Visual Shattering Score (VSS) is also shown in Figure 6 (right columns). This field measure of resistance to pod shattering indicates the percentage of pods on primary stem which had split in the field. For each replicate, a total of 100 plants were scored at random and the percentage split pods on the main raceme was recorded. As can be seen from the graph in Figure 6, treatment with 0.375 litres diluted in 600 litres of water/hectare gave the lowest VSS measurement.

A 1 mm length was cut from the middle of each pod, which was firmly bonded to the base of the Universal Test Instrument, using microtranslation stages. An L- shaped projection on the Instrument was raised (1 mm/min) under the section to determine the point at which the section broke (peak force), recorded as a sudden drop in force; the area under the FDR represented the fracture energy.
  • the percentage of seeds damaged is also shown in Figure 7 for each of 0.375, 0.75, 1.5 and 2.25 litres diluted in 600 litres of water/hectare. This percentage reflects the extra energy required to rupture the pods of plants from the field treated with the composition of Example 2.
