Notes on Introducing Edible Fungi and the Application of Plant Growth Regulators to Flowers

Growth regulators can control the synthesis or metabolism of hormones within ornamental plants, alter the distribution of assimilates, and regulate the growth and development of flowers. Their effects can make flower stems thick and short, leaves dark green, and leaf blades thicker. Because stem growth is inhibited, the stem's competition for nutrients when flower buds germinate is reduced, so flowers can bloom earlier. Growth inhibitors are usually applied as foliar fertilizer, and can also be used on tobacco, vegetables, chili peppers, flowers, medicinal herbs, cucurbits, and peach fruit trees to control shoots and check excessive vigor, enlarge fruits, strengthen roots and stems, and improve quality. Generally, each bottle contains 16 granules, and each granule is diluted in 15 kg of water for spraying, applied once every 7-10 days, 2-3 times during the growing period. This can assimilate and induce transmembrane signal transduction in plant cells, forcing large amounts of vigorous nutrients at the shoot tips to flow back, and rapidly weakening the inertial advantage of shoot flushing to a state of terminal bud setting.
