Used in agricultural formulations as a plant growth regulator to enhance crop yield and stress resistance. It supports chlorophyll retention in leaves, improving photosynthesis efficiency under adverse conditions. Commonly applied in horticulture for delaying senescence in leafy vegetables and maintaining green color in turfgrass. Also found in some specialty coatings where controlled nitrogen release is beneficial. Shows activity in reducing ethylene effects in post-harvest produce, extending shelf life of fruits and flowers. Investigated for use in slow-release nitrogen sources in controlled-environment agriculture.
