Plant Growth Promoters

For a plant to grow, it requires light, water, oxygen, minerals, and other nutrients. Apart from these, plants also depend on certain organic compounds to signal, regulate, and control the growth of plants which is known as Plant Growth Regulators. Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) are small, simple chemicals produced naturally by plants to regulate their growth and development. PGRs are molecules that influence the development of plants and are generally active at very low concentrations. They play a significant role in the growth, development, and distribution of essential nutrients in plant systems.

PGR such as Triacontanol is a natural plant growth regulator found in epicuticular waxes in plants. According to scientists, Triacontanol improves growth, yield, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, uptake of water and nutrients, nitrogen-fixation, enzymes activities and contents of free amino acids, reducing sugars, soluble protein, and active constituents of essential oil in various crops. Triacontanol enhances the physiological efficiency of the cells and, thus, exploits the genetic potential of plants to a large extent. Various studies present strong evidence that the application of Triacontanol applied either to the root medium or to leaves enhanced the growth and yield of vegetables and other crops, including agronomic and horticultural crops as well as medicinal and aromatic crops plants under normal and adverse conditions.
