Plant growth regulators : what agronomists need to know

Description

This fact sheet looks at the use of plant growth regulators (PGRs) in western Canada. PGRs are synthetic compounds that can beneficially modify plant growth and development and which function by altering hormonal activity. In western Canadian cereal crops, PGRs can work to produce shorter stems, reduce lodging and maintain grain yield.
