“…DI31 and S7 are two Cuban synthetic analogues of brassinosteroids widely employed as agrochemicals in different plantations, with increases in crop yields of 5–30%. ,, Particularly, DI31 has been commercialized for agriculture as a liquid extract at 100–1000 ppm in 50 vol % ethanol/water and other additives to ensure stable dispersions (Biobras-16) for almost 20 years . However, the described potential benefits are not completely expressed in plants because these compounds are quickly metabolized, and two or three foliar spray applications are often needed, increasing the economic cost of their use. , Another problem with current commercial formulations of DI31 is the preparation, storage, and transport as hydro-alcoholic suspensions, which also increases costs associated with the agrochemical application. It is envisaged that, if the duration of their action may be prolonged, their use as agrochemicals would be made more feasible.…”
