The Plant Growth Regulators Market segmentation, based on Product Type, includes auxins, gibberellins, and ethylene. Ethylene is expected to dominate the Plant Growth Regulators Market regarding revenue and share during the forecast period. Several aspects of plant growth and development, including shoot and root growth, cell division and differentiation, senescence, apical dominance, sensitivity to abiotic and biotic stresses, and fruit and seed development, are known to be favorably impacted by the use of ethylene. The rising utilization of ethylene-based plant-based growth regulators positively impacts market growth.
The Plant Growth Regulators Market data has been bifurcated by Mode of Application into Fertigation and Foliar. Foliar application is the most commonly helpful tool for distributing plant growth regulators. Factors such as ease of use and offering superior agronomic advantages over other methods will increase the footprint of the segment. Additionally, it is anticipated that foliar spray's sales will expand as more significant and less significant conventional and organic farmers utilize it.
April 2020: In the UK, BASF debuted Attraxor, a plant growth regulator for turf and other kinds of grasses. Prohexadion(10%w/w) is the primary component. This is expected to widen the growth of the Plant Growth Regulators industry.March 2020: Moddus, a brand-new plant growth regulator that lowers the risk of lodging in oats, barley, and wheat, was registered by Syngenta Canada. Trinexapac-ethyl, an active ingredient in Moddus, has been used successfully for many years to manage lodging in grain crops worldwide.
