PLANT GROWTH PROMOTER/PLANT GROWTH REGULATOR



Plant growth regulators are any substance or mixture of substances which aids in physiological action of plants. It helps in accelerating or retarding the rate of growth or maturation, altering the behaviour of ornamental or crop plants. It, however, does not include substances intended as plant nutrients, trace elements, nutritional chemicals, plant inoculants or soil amendments.

BRASSINOLIDES

It improves cell division and cell elongation, increases diameter, weight and size of fruits. It is even more beneficial when used in combination with ga. When used at flowering stage, fertility of reproductive organs improve in addition to the expansion of cell wall. It helps in keeping the fruits green for a longer period. It also increases seed weight and resistance power in plants against diseases and protects under harsh conditions along with overcoming phytotoxicity of other chemicals.

ATONIK

It is a strong cell agent that infiltrates rapidly into the plants to promote cytoplasm circulation. It accelerates growth, speed, breaks dormancy, makes roots and shoots stronger, improves absorption of nutrients, enhances immunity, regulates hormones and balances reproductive growth. It acts as a defence mechanism against environmental circumstances such as drought, flood, cold and also relieves toxicity.

CYTOKININE

It is a wide spectrum plant growth regulator that promotes cell division. When used with gibberellins, it improves fruit’s shape, cell division, lateral bud emergence in apples and oranges, basal shoot formulation in roses and orchids, flowering in cyclamen and cacti, fruit salt in grapes,oranges and melon.

IAA/IBA

These are commonly applied to stimulate the growth of plant’s root at the time of cutting. It is has also used for various other agricultural applications such as prevention of dropping of fruits in orchards.

GIBBERELLIC ACID

Gibberellic acid is a very potent hormone occurring naturally in plants that promotes growth and elongates cells. It controls the overall development of plants. Since it regulates growth, applications of very low concentrations can have a profound effect while too much will have the opposite effect. It affects decomposition of plants, helps plants grow if used in measured quantity. It stimulates the cells of germinating seeds to produce molecules that regulates hydrolytic

FOLIC ACID

Folic acid is a man-made form of a b vitamin called folate. It is a water soluble vitamin and is very beneficial for the growth of plant. These are yellow- orange in colors and can be seen in dark green leafy vegetables. Folic acids are considered as the highly effective agents for plant hormones and vitamins which are essential for their healthy growth.

6BA

It promotes growth of plants. It is a broad spectrum plant growth regulator and is the first applied synthetic cytokinin. It is used at different stages from germination to harvest in agriculture and horticulture. It is a white crystal powder that is slightly soluble in water, soluble in ethanol and acid solutions.

NATCA - N- ACETYL THIOZOLIDINE 4 CARBOXYLIC ACID

They are used in agricultural industry to give resistance power to plants, which helps them to grow in poor cultivation condition. Atca treated plants show a greater resistance to bad growing conditions. The bio stimulator helps the plants to overcome critical periods throughout the growing cycle.
