This invention relates to compositions and methods facilitating availability, uptake and translocation of active ingredients in plants. More specifically, this invention relates to the surprising discovery that the application to the roots, such as administration to the soil surrounding plants, of two or more osmolytes in combination with an active ingredient, either simultaneously or within a short time of each other, results in an induction of translocation of active ingredient from the roots systemically into the plant.

The delivery system of claim 8, wherein the browse deterrent to osmolyte ratio is within the range of 10 ppm up to 1000 ppm. 15. The delivery system of claim 8, wherein the osmolyte carrier composition comprises three solutes. 16. The delivery system of claim 8, wherein the conditioning composition is formulated into a sustained release substance, which may include an encapsulated granule/prill or micro-encapsulated spheroid. 17. The delivery system of claim 16, wherein the conditioning composition is formulated to provide sustained release of the browse deterrent for a prescribed duration. 18. The delivery system of claim 17, wherein the prescribed duration is thirty, sixty, ninety, one hundred twenty, or one hundred eighty days. 19. The delivery system of claim 8, wherein the conditioning composition is formulated into a crystal, granule, liquid, solid, peat, organic fiber, prill, bead, soil additive, polymer, acrylamide, zeolite, silica, and/or clay. 20. A method of administering the delivery system of claim 8 to a target plant, comprising delivering the composition to soil surrounding the roots of the plant. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein the delivery system is not injected into the plant. 22. The method of claim 20, wherein the delivery system is not topically administered to the plant. 23. The method of claim 20, wherein at least one osmolyte carrier composition conditions the osmotic membrane in the target plant for enhanced root uptake and translocation. 24. The method of claim 20, wherein the delivery system is formulated to provide sustained release of the browse deterrent for a prescribed duration. 25. The method of claim 24, wherein the prescribed duration is thirty, sixty, ninety, one hundred twenty, or one hundred eighty days.
