Plant Growth Regulators
Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are chemical compounds that help regulate plant growth when applied in small quantities. These compounds act on target sites in a plant's metabolism to promote or inhibit growth. The Primary Use of PGRs is to improve the quality, quantity and appearance of agricultural crops, such as fruits and vegetables. They are also used to enhance the growth of ornamental plants, manage turfgrass and stimulate root development in woody plants. PGRs play a key role in the production of food and ornamentals, and thus have an important role to play in the world's food security and economy.
