What Are Plant Growth Regulators?

Plant growth regulators are the newest ugly duckling story to hit the plant health care scene. Twenty-five years ago, plant growth regulators were a niche within a niche. They were utilized by large utility companies to keep trees out of power lines, but largely ignored by tree health professionals. Today, tree growth regulators are better understood, widely used, and benefits trees in ways beyond growth regulation alone. Our professionals use Arborjet’s Shortstop® 2SC and it is a trusted product by the industry.
