Growth regulators are substances that influence the growth and development of plants. They can either promote or inhibit various processes, such as cell division, flowering, and fruit ripening. Common types of growth regulators include auxins, gibberellins, and cytokinins, each playing a unique role in plant health and productivity. Farmers and gardeners often use these regulators to enhance crop yields and improve the quality of fruits and vegetables. These regulators are not just limited to agriculture; they also have applications in horticulture and landscaping. For instance, auxins can help in rooting cuttings, while gibberellins can encourage seed germination. By understanding and utilizing growth regulators, growers can achieve better results in their plants' growth and development.
