Abstract
Few developments in applied biology have been of such immense benefit to the farming world as those arising from the study of plant growth substances. A hundred million acres of clean crops bear annual witness to their value and popularity as selective weed-killers, and it is appropriate that Dr. Templeman, who discovered the first of these, should review the uses that have so far been found for the synthetic growth regulators.
