Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) are able to increase plant productivity by altering the flowering and fruiting behavior of plants. This is done through controlling various endogenous hormones, promoting branching and suppressing shoot growth, as well as altering fruit maturity. Moreover, PGRs can be used to remove excess fruit or to induce a return bloom, making them an important tool in horticultural production. PGRs can be either naturally sourced or synthetically produced, depending on the specific needs of the grower or farmer. While they offer substantial benefits in terms of increased yields and improved quality, it is important that they are applied correctly for optimum efficacy and safety.
