Our review gives a comprehensive overview of the chemical restriction of plant growth. The
first portion of the article gives a brief history of plant growth retardants followed by an …

Plant growth regulators (PGR) shorten the straw of cereals, but their effects on other traits of
plant stand structure have been inconsistent. To arrive at an assessment of whole‐plant …

Severe lodging of irrigated spring-wheat in sub-tropical Australia has previously caused
yield loss of between 1.7 and 4.6 t ha–1 (20–60% of potential yield). In response, agronomic …

Plants respond differently to water-deficit stress conditions in the soil. In order to study
different irrigation regimes and plant growth regulators/plant growth promoting bacteria …

Conventional high-input farming systems in Europe are often regarded as unsustainable
with severe environmental impacts on biodiversity, soils, water and climate. Low-input …

Several plant growth regulators (PGRs) commonly used in practicalfarming to restrict shoot
height and control lodging were examined for theirimpact on root growth in naturally short or …

Kasvunsääteitä käytetään perinteisesti viljojen korren pituuskasvun hidastamiseen ja
lakoutumisen vähentämiseen. Kasvunsääteiden kortta lyhentävä vaikutus perustuu korren …

It is suggested that cultivars of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) with regulated growth and
development would be able to produce higher yields under water-limited conditions, which …

The plant growth regulator ethephon has been used to reduce height and lodging of
intensively managed corn (Zea mays L.). However, the impact of ethephon‐induced …

A study was conducted to investigate the effects of three chemical ameliorants, namely,
cycocel, limewash and potassium chloride, on stomatal frequency, leaf water potential and …
