Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs)

Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) are natural or synthetic chemicals that influence a plant's growth and development by altering processes like cell division, elongation, or differentiation. They help manage characteristics such as flowering, fruit ripening, seed germination, and root formation. PGRs are used in agriculture and horticulture to improve plant quality, increase yield, and control growth patterns. Examples include auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, ethylene, and abscisic acid. By precisely applying PGRs, growers can optimize plant performance and ensure better management of crop production and plant health.
