Growth Regulators

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are natural or synthetic substances that influence various physiological processes in plants. They help control and modify growth patterns such as cell division, elongation, flowering, fruiting, and ripening. Common types include auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, and abscisic acid — each playing a distinct role in plant development.

By using growth regulators, farmers can enhance seed germination, improve root and shoot growth, increase yield quality, and manage the timing of flowering and fruit ripening. These regulators are essential tools in modern agriculture for achieving uniform growth, better productivity, and improved crop quality.
