Abstract

The review offers a comprehensive and illuminating summary of the most recent developments in the area of plant growth regulators (PGRs). The purpose of this research is to investigate the rapid advancements and uses of plant growth regulators (PGRs), which are vital instruments for maximizing the growth and productivity of plants. A wide variety of novel PGR compounds and technologies have been created as a result of recent breakthroughs. These new technologies and compounds provide considerable enhancements over the conventional methods. This discusses important discoveries such as innovative synthetic plant growth regulators (PGRs) and biostimulants that improve plant growth, resistance to stress, and crop output. Specifically, it investigates the manner in which these improved PGRs are developed to target certain physiological processes, which ultimately results in treatments that are more precise and successful in crop management. In addition, the study investigates the role that developing technologies play in the implementation of PGRs. These technologies include smart delivery systems and precision agricultural methods, which make it possible to adjust treatments to the individual requirements of plants and the circumstances of their environments. Additionally, the incorporation of PGRs into agricultural operations that are environmentally responsible. It highlights the potential for these advances to help to environmentally friendly agriculture by lowering the dependency on chemical inputs and enhancing the efficiency with which resources are used. The significance of these technological developments in solving global concerns such as climate change and food security is emphasized in the article. The revolutionary effect that new PGR technology have had on contemporary agricultural practices. This article highlights the potential for these technologies to improve crop productivity and promote sustainable agriculture practices by providing a detailed review of current developments and the practical consequences of those trends.
