PROCESS FOR PRODUCING VEGETATIVE AND TUBER GROWTH REGULATOR

摘要

A process of making a vegetative and tuber growth regulator. The vegetative and tuber growth regulator is made by growing potato plants (3) in a recirculating hydroponic system (1) for a sufficient time to produce the growth regulator. Also, the use of the vegetative and growth regulator on solanaceous plants, tuber forming plants and ornamental seedlings by contacting the roots or shoots of the plant with a sufficient amount of the growth regulator to regulate the growth of the plant and one more of canopy size, plant height, stem length, internode number and presence of tubers in fresh mass. Finally, a method for regulating the growth of potato plants (3) using a recirculating hydroponic system (1) is described.
