Auxins are a class of plant hormones that play a fundamental role in various aspects of plant growth and development. They are involved in processes such as cell elongation, apical dominance, root initiation, vascular tissue differentiation, and tropisms (growth responses to external stimuli). Here’s an overview of the roles of auxins in plant growth and […]

Kelp, also known as seaweed, is a natural product derived from marine algae and is gaining popularity in agriculture as a Biostimulant. Kelp-based Biostimulants contain various bioactive compounds, including plant growth regulators, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and carbohydrates. When applied to plants and soils, kelp-based Biostimulants have been reported to enhance plant growth, improve stress […]

Plant growth regulators, also known as phytohormones, are naturally occurring chemical compounds that play pivotal roles in regulating various aspects of plant growth, development, and maturation. These hormones are produced within the plant in minute quantities but have significant effects on plant processes. Here are some key plant growth regulators and their roles in plant […]

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) and plant growth stimulators (PGSs) are naturally-occurring or synthetic compounds that, when applied to plants, modify their physiological processes, and growth and development habits. In plant cells, they stimulate specific enzymes or pathways and help regulate metabolism. The term “PGR” is widely used in Western Canada to refer to products that […]
