The method is useful for treating vegetation to promotes plant growth and/or crop production, also for treating pollen, seeds, roots and soil and inhibiting growth of insects and micro-organisms. A formulation including an energy/carbon skeleton component, a macro nutrient component and a micro nutrient component is applied, e.g. in aqueous solution by foliar spraying. This is done in a manner to make optimum use of the inherent ability of vegetation to harvest solar energy and to utilize other sources of energy and carbon skeleton, such that the energy and nutrients applied by the method of the invention is a fraction of the energy and carbon skeleton requirements of the vegetation.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A method of treating pollen to enhance its use for pollination which comprises providing pollen grains separated from the bulk of the anthers which normally accompany the pollen, then coating the grains of pollen with a nutrient solution comprising a carbon skeleton/energy component which is water soluble and is assimilable by plants and also comprising a water soluble complexing agent selected from the group consisting of citric acid, lignosulfonates, fulvic acid, ulmic acid, humic acid, Katy-J, EDTA, EDDA, EDDHA, HEDTA, CDTA, PTPA, or NTA.
