Citrus Production Guide: Plant Growth Regulators

Plant Growth Regulators

Plant growth regulators are hormone-like chemicals that occur naturally in plants, and play a central role in their growth and development. Five major classes of plant growth regulators have been identified as plant hormones, but scientists believe that there are more waiting to be discovered. The five growth hormones include auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, and ethylene. Collec...
