The lower alkyl esters of the C(8) to C(12) fatty acids and the C(8) to C(10) fatty alcohols selectively kill or inhibit the terminal meristem without damaging the axillary meristems, foliage, or stem tissue of a wide variety of plants. The axillary meristems develop at nearly the same time as those of plants whose terminal meristems have been removed manually. The concentration of the fatty acid esters and alcohols required to kill the terminal meristem range from 0.025 to 0.05M for herbaceous plants, 0.05 to 0.16M for semi-woody plants, and 0.16 to 0.27M for woody plants.

“…Tso (1) reported that the alkyl esters of the C9 to C12 fatty acids inhibited the growth of axillary buds when applied to tobacco plants whose tops had been removed. Extremely high fields can be applied for very short periods, without exceeding the average power possibilities in the study of electrophoretic processes.…”

“…Still more active chemicals are represented by the CIO fatty acid methyl ester and the Cg and CIO fatty alcohols (Fig. 1), first shown to be effective contact inhibitors of sucker growth on tobacco in the mid-1960's (62,63) and then as pinching agents for ornamental and fruit crops (64). Of the fatty alcohols evaluated as tobacco sucker control agents, the Cs and CIO alcohols were among the most effective (65).…”

“…Early in 1961, the author discovered the first effective water-soluble contact sucker control agent, dimethyldodecylamine acetate, that could be sprayed over the entire plant without leaf injury (10). This led to the discoveries by the USDA, the author, and a number of others that other fatty chemicals such as fatty alcohols (1 1), acetamides (12), ketones (13), esters of fatty acids (14), and fatty glycols (15) could also be used. One thing they all have in common is the fatty moiety (Table II).…”

AND SUMMARYFats, oils, and their derivatives are reviewed, in their roles as emulsifiers and surfactants and as pesticide derivatives, and in their activity per se. As emulsifiers and surfactants they offer a wide range of hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) values to assist formulators in developing saleable products. Their lipoid solubilities aid in evaporation retardation, plant penetration, and absorption. Often they greatly improve the performance of the active ingredients. Nitrogen derivatives such as amines and quaternaries, fatty alcohols, acid esters, and other agricultural chemicals are reviewed. Examples are cited on the effect of the length of the carbon chain and their number in such herbicides as 2,4-D and dalapon, as well as the biological properties of various aliphatic groups in insect larvicides, plant growth regulators, and fungicides. The role vegetable oils can play in the looming energy shortages as petroleum oil substitutes is discussed. They offer a challenging future in agricultural applications.
