Growth Regulators

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are chemicals used to modify plant growth such as increasing branching, suppressing shoot growth, increasing return bloom, removing excess fruit, or altering fruit maturity.

Why use them?

Here at BACF we are very familiar with Bonzi, and we have many customers who use it to help control, improve the shape & uniformity of their plants creating a better, more uniform and profitable crop.

At first glance there is an array of PGRs available for use in horticulture: a wide range of claims, rates and modes of action but understanding how to use them comes down to what you are trying to achieve.

Based on their action, they are broadly classified as follows:

1. Plant Growth Promoters – They promote cell division, cell enlargement, flowering, fruiting and seed formation. Examples are auxins, gibberellins and cytokinins.

2. Plant Growth Inhibitors – These chemicals inhibit growth and promote dormancy and abscission in plants. An example is an abscisic acid.
