Correct option is A
The correct answer is: (A) Retardation of vegetative growth
Explanation
Cycocel (also known as chlormequat chloride) is a growth regulator that primarily inhibits gibberellin synthesis, leading to retardation of vegetative growth in plants.
Cycocel (also known as chlormequat chloride) is a growth regulator that primarily inhibits gibberellin synthesis, leading to retardation of vegetative growth in plants.
By reducing excessive height growth, it encourages a more compact plant structure, especially in tall-growing crops. This helps in improving yield by preventing plants from becoming too tall and weak, particularly under conditions of high fertilizer application.
Information Key Points
Results in shorter plants with thicker stems.
Commonly used in ornamental plants, cereals, and fruit crops.
Helps in preventing lodging and improving crop standability.
