Note(s) The plant growth regulators are those materials which alter the plant through a chemical modification of the plant metabolism, such as auxins. Materials which affect the growth of a plant solely by supplying nutrients, i.e. plant food, ordinarily required for growth are provided for in class Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...C05 as are materials which are used to prevent or cure mineral deficiencies in plants, e.g. addition of iron chelates to cure iron chlorosis. [3] In addition to biocides, pest repellants or attractants, or plant growth regulators — which are to be classified as stated in the Notes before group Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...A01N 25/00— materials, other than grafting wax, which are not characterised as fertiliser compositions (class Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...C05) or adhesives or paint compositions (class Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...C09), but which are characterised by their chemical composition and are used to treat growing plants, e.g. to protect them from adverse conditions, are classified in groups Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...A01N 25/00-A01N 65/00 as if their components were active ingredients (mechanical devices used in agriculture or horticulture, see the relevant sub-class, e.g. Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...A01G, Fulltext... Hierarchy... Expanded...A01M). [3] This sub-class covers compositions, physical forms, methods of application of specific materials or the use of single compounds or compositions. [3]
