Abstract
A system and method for regulating plant growth according to the creation of temperature gradients within the vegetative portion of a plant and its roots or rhizomes. A system of pipes or conduits capable of thermally manipulating their surrounding environment is placed within proximity of roots or rhizomes to create a temperature differential across the selected plant species. Through temperature variations created by thermally conductive pipes or conduits, plant growth can be regulated.
