摘要

Provided herein is a method of improving at least one plant growth factor in a plant by administering to the plant a first plant growth regulator comprising an inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis or action. The inhibitor of ethylene biosynthesis is dispersed in polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA") particles having a mean diameter greater than 1 micron. The formulations also contain a second plant growth regulator comprising a plantgrowth retardant.
