Effects of growth regulators on growth, yield and quality of fruit crops: A review

Abstract

The plant growth regulators are chemical compounds, which can regulate some important metabolic activities in plants. They influence on growth and development of plants, which influence the increase in yield, quality of product, flowering and some other parameters. Plant growth regulators include auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, ethylene, growth retardants and growth inhibitors. Production of low quality fruits is a common experience therefore, to improve the yield and quality of fruit crops application of growth regulators is one of the important production strategy.
