Chemicals that control plant growth have long been treated like a
poor re lation of the herbicides yet in one manner of thinking,
herbicides them selves are but one facet of the entire picture of
plant growth regulation - a major fraction, to be sure,
economically. It is now time to recognize that plant growth
regulators should occupy an increasingly important role in
agriculture. Sufficient numbers of uses having considerable
economic re turn have already become established: (a) to increase
the latex flow in the rubber trees; (b) to ripen sugarcane; (c) to
control sprouting in onions and potatoes; (d) to shorten and
strengthen wheat stems to prevent lodging; (e) to prevent premature
deterioration; and (f) to permit control of timing for maximum
utilization of crops. In addition, as energy becomes more difficult
and costly to obtain, plant growth regulators will play an
increasingly important role in energy conser vation as a result of
increased yields due to their use . . There are a number of ways to
present to the reader the role and effec tiveness of plant growth
regulators. The one chosen here is to emphasize the effects on
plant functions such as the induction of roots, the control of
flowering, the control of sex, and the control of aging. Little
emphasis has been placed on the basic research that has served as a
background for the successes and potential successes discussed
herein. N or is much attention paid to the mode of action of the
various regulators."
