Abstract
The commercial development of a wide variety of synthetic plant growth inhibitors for use in floriculture has been possible for several reasons. The high cash value of flower crops can absorb relatively costly treatments; specificity of response permits the viability of several products of basically similar properties, and restrictions on use are less stringent than they would be for food crops. Nevertheless, there are some important applications in temperate cereals and tobacco.
