Forchlorfenuron is a highly active, synthetic cytokinin-type plant growth regulator. Its primary function is to potently promote fruit set and fruit enlargement. With an activity level 5–10 times greater than that of standard 6-BA, it stands as one of the most effective agents for increasing fruit size in modern agricultural production.

Applying 6-BA to young apple trees during the structural training phase stimulates the sprouting of lateral buds, rapidly forming a high-yielding framework. In tea and tobacco cultivation, it increases the number of effective branches, leading to improvements in both yield and quality.

Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) is a synthetic auxin-type plant growth regulator. Its primary function is to potently induce the formation of adventitious roots and fine lateral roots. Far more stable than natural auxins, it is the most widely used professional rooting regulator in agricultural production.

Uniconazole is a highly effective, broad-spectrum triazole plant growth regulator. Its primary function is to inhibit gibberellin synthesis, thereby controlling excessive vegetative growth, promoting dwarfing, and preventing lodging. Additionally, it offers multiple benefits, including flower promotion, yield enhancement, antimicrobial activity, and stress resistance. It is 6–10 times more active than paclobutrazol, leaves only one-tenth of the soil residue, has virtually no impact on subsequent crops, and offers a safety profile far superior to that of traditional growth-control agents.

Triacontanol powder is a natural, highly efficient, and low-toxicity plant growth regulator. Its core ingredient—triacontanol—is purified from natural sources such as beeswax. It is water-soluble, rapidly absorbed by crop stems and leaves, and exerts significant regulatory effects even at extremely low concentrations.

DA-6 Enhances Photosynthetic Efficiency:Significantly increases chlorophyll, protein, and nucleic acid content in crops; accelerates the rate of photosynthesis; results in darker green, thicker leaves; and markedly boosts dry matter accumulation.

The conference identified plant growth regulators as a key lever for stabilizing grain production capacity and advancing the green transformation of agriculture. It outlined three major directions for industry development: focusing on differentiated innovation, expanding application scenarios across the entire crop growth cycle, and strengthening the regulation of online sales.

Differentiated and Original R&D:Moving beyond price wars over generic products, R&D efforts are shifting toward novel bioactive substances and crop-specific compound formulations. Focus is placed on upgrading the formulations and manufacturing processes of established products to create irreplaceable competitive advantages.

An industry report released in September 2026 indicates that the plant growth regulator market in Southeast Asia is experiencing rapid growth.
