With an ever-increasing demand for more food supply, agricultural
scientists will have to search for new ways and technologies to
promote food production. In recent decades, plant growth regulators
(PGRs) have made great strides in promoting plant growth and
development. PGRs are organic compounds which have the ability to
dramatically affect physiological plant processes when present in
extremely low concentrations (in the range of micro-to picograms).
Although all higher plants have the ability to synthesize PGRs
endogenously, they do respond to the exogenous sources most likely
due to not having the capacity to synthesize sufficient endogenous
phytohormones for optimal growth and development under given
climatic and environmental conditions. In recent years, PGRs have
established their position as a new generation of agrochemicals
after pesticides, insecticides and herbicides. Interest in the
commercial use of PGRs for improving plant growth and crop yields
is also increasing because of their non-polluting nature. The use
of PGRs in the post-harvest technology is well established and many
new breakthroughs have recently been revealed.
