Uses of Plant Growth Regulators in the Conifer Nursery

Abstract - The literature pertaining to plant growth regulators is surveyed in relation to these chemicals being used on conifers to increase the rooting of cuttings, enhance seed germination, promote or inhibit shoot and root growth, increase frost and drought resistance, improve storage and overwintering potential, and delay springtime budbreak. It is evident from this survey that although promising gains have been made in attaining some of these goals, much more developmental work is required.
