Description and Table of Contents

Description

Examines the current status and potential use of synthetic and natural bioregulators to increase crop productivity and improve crop protection. Discusses the naturally occurring products that are emerging as bioregulators for crop productivity and protection. Describes mechanisms of interactions of natural bioregulators and their hosts. Includes a tutorial chapter on the development of plant growth regulators.
