Optimization Strategies for Controlling Plant Growth
Abstract: Plant growth regulators (PGR’s) are chemicals used on a wide range of floricultural crops. These plant regulators modulate the plant growth in their own specific way. However, for achieving best results, it is important to understand the various other parameters that increases or decreases the effectiveness of PGR usage. This short review combines together the different environmental and cultural parameters that together with PGRs can affect plant growth. Keywords: drought …
