Benzimidazole compounds of the following structural formula modify the growth and development of plants: <IMAGE> wherein U is selected from -hydrogen, -halogen, -lower alkyl, -lower alkoxy, phenyl, and -phenoxy optionally carrying 1 or 2 substituents independently selected from -halogen and -lower haloalkyl; V is selected from -hydrogen, -halogen, or U and V taken together are -C4H4- joining adjacent ring positions; W is selected from -hydrogen and -lower alkyl; and Z is selected from -hydroxy, -lower alkoxy, and -OM where M is an agriculturally acceptable cation, or W and Z together may constitute a chemical bond.
