Abstract
Growth regulants were first identified in the early 1930s as significant in crop production. Much has transpired since those early days of exciting discovery, so that today many natural and synthetic chemicals challenge the scientific investigator and the practical cultivator. They bring new possibilities in circumventing environmental limitations, relaxing genetic restraints, improving the quality, and aiding the production, harvesting and preservation of food and other crops.Keywords
