USE OF OPEN-CHAIN CARBOXYLIC ACIDS, CARBONIC ESTERS, CARBOXAMIDES AND CARBONITRILES OF ARYL, HETEROARYL AND BENZYLSULFONAMIDE OR THE SALTS THEREOF FOR IMPROVING THE STRESS TOLERANCE IN PLANTS
The invention relates to the use of open-chain aryl-, heteroaryl- and benzylsulfonamidocarboxylic acids, -carboxylic esters, -carboxamides and -carbonitriles or salts thereof of the formula (I)in which the respective substituents have the meanings given in the description, for increasing stress tolerance in plants with respect to abiotic stress, and also for increasing plant growth and/or for increasing plant yield.
