Types of Plant Growth Regulators
Plant growth regulators are a class of chemicals used to promote or inhibit plant growth. According to their mode of action, they can be divided into two categories: plant growth promoters and plant growth inhibitors.
chemical substances that promote plant growth and development, can increase the growth rate of plants, and improve the appearance and quality of plants. Common plant growth promoters include hormones (such as hormone growth regulators, hormone plant growth regulators), biologically active substances (such as abscisic acid, sodium abscisic acid), trace elements (such as boron, zinc, copper, etc. )wait.
chemical substances that inhibit plant growth and development, can control the growth rate, shape and size of plants, and are used to control plant growth and reproduction. Common plant growth inhibitors include inhibiting hormones (such as inhibiting hormone growth regulators), inhibiting substances (such as inhibiting substance growth regulators), inhibiting enzymes (such as inhibiting enzyme growth regulators), etc.
Application of plant growth regulators
Plant growth regulators are widely used in agriculture, horticulture, forestry and other fields. They can adjust the speed and shape of plant growth, improve crop yield and quality, control the growth of weeds and pests, and improve plant adaptability and stress resistance. However, the use of plant growth regulators also needs to be used rationally to avoid adverse effects on the environment and human health.
