Plant growth regulators are widely used in crops and can effectively increase crop yields, but because they are not widely available, many people do not know much about them. So, what exactly is a plant growth regulator?
Synthetic chemicals that regulate the growth and development of plants are called plant growth regulators. Through specific plant growth regulators, people promote, inhibit, delay and other regulatory activities on plants, so that plants can grow and develop in accordance with human needs. The stalling agent is used to make the stalks of wheat shorter and stronger to enhance its lodging resistance. People use promoters to promote the transport of nutrients to the fruit, the cultivation of a big sweet watermelon; People use inhibitors to prevent potatoes from sprouting, prolong storage and so on.
Plant growth regulators have different characteristics from traditional pesticides. Different from the disadvantages of traditional pesticides, such as high toxicity, high residue and easy to develop drug resistance, plant growth regulator has the advantages of quick effect, low dosage, low toxicity, effective, not easy to be residual and not easy to develop drug resistance. This makes the market prospect and future function of plant growth regulator very promising.
