Benefits of Plant Growth Regulators

 Is there any means to have higher plant yield at low expenditure? The answer is plant growth regulators that save cost and boost production for both greenhouse and nursery growers. For landscape contractors and lawn care operators, these chemicals can save them time and money. Keep reading to learn more about their benefits in detail.

Cost

The use of plant growth regulators can cut costs by reducing water and fertilizer requirements to the plants. The chemicals bring in certain changes in plant growth. When sprayed over landscape plants and lawn grass, you save money by decreasing the frequency of mowing and pruning the shrubs and trees. Plant growth regulators also minimize the effects of certain diseases and pest attacks on plants.

Space

Plant growth regulators allow for tighter spacing among the plants in a greenhouse, allowing more plants per square foot. Besides, the ability of the growth regulators to shorten the internodes of stems helps the ornamental growers to deliver plants with optimal size and shape.

Plant Health

Germination of seeds of plants is decreased by cold soil. This drawback is overcome when the seeds are soaked in these chemical compounds before sowing. In addition, these plant growth regulators are particularly effective in root initiation on plant cuttings, making them popular with the horticulturists. Besides, the tolerance of a plant to poor soil moisture can be enhanced with their application by regulating the duration of the opening and closing of the stomata on the leaves.
