ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method of enhancing the growth of plants. The method comprises applying a nonionic surfactant and, more particularly, an alkyoxypolyethyleneoxyethanol to the soil to protect the seeds and enhance their germination, and to enhance the growth of the plants. The nonionic surfactant is represented by the formula: ##STR1## wherein n is from 9-15 and m is from 3-40. The nonionic surfactant can be combined with a substantially reduced rate of conventionally used pesticides to provide compositions that more effectively enhance plant growth than the conventional pesticides used alone at their full rates.
