Used in agriculture as a plant growth regulator, particularly in cotton cultivation. It helps control excessive vegetative growth by reducing plant height and promoting stronger stems, which improves resistance to lodging. This leads to better sunlight penetration and air circulation within the crop canopy, enhancing boll development and uniform fruiting. Applied as a foliar spray, it optimizes harvest efficiency and can improve fiber quality. Its use is timed during the early growth stages to manage canopy density and reduce the need for other chemical treatments.
