Abstract
The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods of regulating growth of a live plant to slow the growth of the live plant. In one embodiment, the composition consists essentially of a first component comprising a gibberellin inhibiting plant growth regulating agent and a second component comprising at least one of a short-chained monocarboxylic acid having from five to eight carbon atoms, a derivative thereof, a salt thereof, and a mixture thereof. The second component increases the efficacy of the first component such that a plant treated with the composition has slower growth than a plant treated only with the first component. In some embodiments, the second component is hexanoic acid, and the first component is paclobutrazol.
