Effect of plant growth regulators on marigold plant?

its growth will be regulated by this way

Effect of plant growth regulators on marigold plant?
Hello Effect of plant growth,





Unless you are watering excessively or not enough the marigold plant does not need regulators used on it. There is now out on the market a timed watering system why not use it if you have a problem that way.





Have fun!
Reply:It depends on which you use, and how applied. Some control internodal growth, some stimulate root growth (cytokinin comes to mind, a stress related hormone)





Too much jasmonic acid may cause leaf drop...
Reply:Mostly a plant growth regulator keeps the plant more compact, say for instance on a wondering jew plant the stems can become long and leggy, a plant growth regulator is made for this type of problem, especially when your growing thousands, in your home you keep your plant cut back to keep it healthy and full. Plant growth regulators are used in the growing industry to keep their seedling from getting to big before shipping them tho their customers. The chemical used in this product usually stunts the growth of the leaves and can result in clubbed leaves. It also takes more fertilizer and time to get them grown on time to be shipped on time. I'm opposed to seed growers using this chemical because of this reason. And I realy can't see why you would have to use it on yard grown marigolds, keep the dead flowers pinched off and your marigolds should'nt need P.G.R.'s. Insect Growth Regulators, thats a different question!!!!!! Greenhouse grower of 15 years.
Reply:Yes, plant growth regulators on a marigold plant will regulate growth. Bedding plant nurseries spray growth regulators on their seedlings and developing plants as part of production process IF such treatment is profitable.
