Plant hormones and growth regulators

Hormones are produced naturally by plants, while plant growth regulators are applied to plants by humans. Plant hormones and growth regulators are chemicals that affect all aspects of plant growth, including: germination, root growth, flowering, maturity and fruit set. Extremely small

concentrations of these substances produce major growth changes.

Plant growth regulators can be synthetic compounds that mimic naturally occurring plant hormones or they may be natural hormones that were extracted from plant tissue. Applied amounts of these substances are measured in parts per million and in some cases parts per billion.

There are five major plant growth regulating hormones: auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, and abscisic acid that are in P.G.S.

Auxins – affects root growth, flower formation and fruit set.

Gibberellins – help break seed dormancy, and speed germination.

Cytokinins – stimulate cell division and also delay aging.

Ethylene – induces ripening and is a plant response to stress.

Abscisic Acid – helps regulate water evaporation in the plant.

The properties listed above are just a few of the more important growth regulating factors of these plant hormones.

The term auxin is derived from the Greek word auxein which means “to grow”

Growth regulating substances and plant hormones are most often applied as a spray to foliage or as an in furrow treatment and depending on the product, can usually be combined with other fertilizer solutions to stimulate a favorable plant response.
