Benefits

Plant Growth Regulator (PGR) are chemicals that significantly influence the growth and development of plants. They can be used to regulate various physiological processes in plants, leading to numerous benefits for agriculture, horticulture, and environmental management.

• PGRs can stimulate or inhibit growth, allowing for better control over plant size and shape.
• By optimizing plant growth, PGRs can lead to increase yield. They can enhance flowering, fruit set and fruit growth, resulting in more productive crops.
• PGRs help plants withstand abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures.
• PGRs can be used to synchronize ripening, which is beneficial for harvest timing and post-harvest management. This is especially important in commercial fruit production.
• Some PGRS have been found to increase a plant’s resistance to pest and diseases, reducing the need for chemical pesticides and promoting more sustainable agricultural practices.
