Abstract
Activity promoting additives (alkoxylated amines and alkoxylated quaternary ammonium compounds) for rest-breaking agents are disclosed. Further, rest-breaking compositions comprising these additives and a rest-breaking agent are also disclosed. Finally, a process for breaking the rest of deciduous fruit trees is disclosed. The activity promoting additives enhance the activity of rest-breaking agents thereby leading to improvements in the yields and quality of fruit from deciduous fruit trees in regions which have mild winter weather conditions.
