Used as a plant growth regulator in agriculture, particularly in fruit and vegetable cultivation. Promotes uniform ripening, enhances fruit coloring, and improves sugar content in crops like grapes, watermelons, and citrus. Applied through spraying or root irrigation, it helps synchronize harvest time and increase marketable quality. Also used to break seed dormancy and stimulate germination in certain crops. Effective at low concentrations and typically applied during specific growth stages to maximize yield and quality.
