Abstract
The present invention relates to small chemical compounds that act as activators of lateral root formation in plants. More specifically, it relates to small chemical compounds that are structurally not related to auxin but do have a similar effect on root density development in plants. Preferably, these compounds act more specifically on root development than auxin, and may have a different working mechanism.
