Plant growth compositions include a mixture of inert compounds and an active component combination of auxin, gibberellin and cytokinin. The plant growth compositions are auxin-dominant, and the ratio of cytokinin to auxin in the active component combination ranges from about 1:10.5 to about 1:4.5. The amount of cytokinin ranges from about 3 to 19 wt % by weight of the active component combination in plant growth compositions formulated for in-furrow application to corn plants. Methods of improving plant growth involve in-furrow, seed and/or foliar application of one or more plant types with a plant growth composition. Improvements in plant growth include increases in the average number of bushels produced per acre.

Plant growth regulators

Methods of improving plant growth involve applying a first growth composition to a plant or part thereof during a first growth stage. The first growth composition includes a first active component combination comprised of auxin, gibberellin and cytokinin. The amount of cytokinin is less than the amount of auxin and gibberellin. The method also involves adjusting the amount of auxin, the amount of gibberellin, and/or the amount of cytokinin after the first growth stage, and applying a second growth composition to the plant or part thereof during a second growth stage. The second growth composition can include a second active component combination, different than the first, that includes a second amount of auxin, a second amount of gibberellin, and a second amount of cytokinin. In some examples, the method can also involve growing the plant to maturity, thereby improving growth of the plant.

Plant growth regulator compositions and methods of using same

Plant growth compositions include a mixture of inert compounds and an active component combination of auxin, gibberellin and cytokinin. The plant growth compositions are auxin-dominant, and the ratio of cytokinin to auxin in the active component combination ranges from about 1:10.5 to about 1:4.5. The amount of cytokinin ranges from about 0.1 to 10 wt % by weight of the active component combination in plant growth compositions formulated for in-furrow application to corn plants. Methods of improving plant growth involve in-furrow, seed and/or foliar application of one or more plant types with a plant growth composition. Improvements in plant growth include increases in the average number of bushels produced per acre.
