Growth regulators have been defined as organic compounds, other than nutrients, which used in small amounts promote, inhibit or otherwise modify physiological processes in plants. Plant growth regulators or hormones influence the growth of chrysanthemum at all stages from rooting to senescence. Chemicals which scale down many species of plants are called growth retardants. Growth retardants include draught resistance and salt tolerance, decrease in water loss, decrease in sensitivity to air pollution, enhancement of the number and rate of development of roots in cuttings and longevity of flowering plants. As far as use of growth regulators on chrysanthemum is concerned, commonly used chemicals on this crop are phosphon-D, phosphon-S, B-9, ancymidol, cycocel, Amo-1618, maleic hydrazide, paclobutrazol and ethephon etc. These all growth retardants use to yield variable results with the cultivar and the growing condition.
