S-abscisic Acid e ka matlafatsa khanyetso ea koro haholo komello, mafu le serame, ha e ntse e khothaletsa nts'etsopele ea metso ea bobeli le ho eketsa palo ea lihlahla tse sebetsang hantle.
E sebetsa joalo ka semela sa "stress-resistance inducer," ntho ena e potlakisa ponts'o ea liphatsa tsa lefutso tsa endogenous tse hanyetsanang le khatello ea maikutlo ha koro e thulana le komello, mocheso o tlase kapa khatello ea mafu. Tlas'a maemo a komello, asiti ea abscisic e etsa hore ho koaloe ka potlako ha stomata ho fokotsa phepelo ea metsi; ka nako e le 'ngoe, e phahamisa polelo ea liphatsa tsa lefutso tse kang P5CS ho khothalletsa ho bokella proline le ho boloka cellular osmotic balance. Liphuputso li bonts'itse hore ts'ebeliso ea kantle ea S-abscisic Acid e thusa koro ho boloka metsi a mangata a mahlaku tlas'a khatello ea komello, ho matlafatsa ts'ebetso ea photosynthetic ka ho feta 26.9%.
Tšebeliso ea foliar ea 50-100 ppm S-abscisic Acid pele e pepesehela khatello ea kelello e tlaase e ka etsa hore ho be le liprotheine tse hanyetsanang le serame le ho matlafatsa lera la lipid botsitso, kahoo ho fokotsa haholo litekanyetso tsa chlorosis le ho shoa ha lipeo ho bakoang ke tšenyo ea leqhoa. Ho feta moo, ka ho kenya tšebetsong litsela tsa mats'oao tsa salicylic acid (SA) le jasmonic acid (JA), asiti ea abscisic e matlafatsa tšireletso ea 'mele ea koro, e matlafatsa matla a eona a ho itšireletsa khahlanong le mafu a kang blight le ho bola ha metso.
Mabapi le taolo ea kholo, likhahla tse tlaase tsa abscisic acid (1-2 mg·kg⁻¹) li ka khothalletsa ho thehoa ha metso ea bobeli ka koro, kahoo e matlafatsa matla a eona bakeng sa metsi le phepo ea limatlafatsi. Tšebeliso ea foliar ea 1–2 ppm S-abscisic Acid nakong ea boemo ba botala e khothalletsa phetoho ea tiller ka katleho, e eketsa palo ea lisebelisoa tse sebetsang hantle, le ho ntlafatsa sebopeho sa palo ea limela, e qetellang e lebisa ho litekanyetso tse phahameng tsa ho thehoa ha litsebe le ho eketseha ha chai.
Ha ho sebelisoa, ho kgothaletswa ho fafatsa ka foliar ka 1–2 ppm S-abscisic Acid nakong ya koro ya mariha ebang ke pele ho sekgahla se setala kapa nakong ya ho lema pele ho nako, ho e sebedisa habedi ka nako ya matsatsi a 7; ho seng joalo, ho ka sebelisoa kalafo ea pele ka 50–100 ppm pele ho fihla leqhubu la serame ho matlafatsa ho hanyetsa khatello ea maikutlo.
