CRC Press Plant Growth Regulators in Agriculture and Horticulture

As modern agriculture becomes more mechanized and scientific advancements increase the potential for using inputs to improve production, the role of Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) becomes more vital. This resource from CRC Press provides agriculture professionals and researchers with the specific information needed to use these versatile tools to enhance crop production. The text covers the essential "classical five" phytohormones, including gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, abscisic acid, and auxins. It also examines the growing number of nontraditional PGRs such as oligosaccharins and brassinosteroids. By understanding these chemical tools, professionals can better navigate the changing landscape of horticulture and large-scale farming to maximize yields and manage plant development effectively.
