Alar is a systemic growth regulator authorized in the U.S. for use on ornamental plants like chrysanthemums, poinsettias, and bedding plants within controlled environments such as greenhouses. It helps to limit internode elongation, enhances resistance to heat, drought, and frost, and promotes darker leaves and stronger stems. Additionally, it encourages earlier blooming and increased flower and fruit production. Typically, it is applied as a spray at concentrations ranging from 1500 to 10,000 ppm.

Daminozide (CAS#1596-84-5), also referred to as butyryl hydrazine, is a plant growth regulator primarily utilized in agriculture and horticulture. It is applied to a variety of crops including fruit trees, potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and strawberries. Daminozide helps to reduce plant growth, promoting a more compact shape. It also boosts crop resistance to cold and drought, prevents flower and fruit drop, and aids in fruit setting, ultimately increasing yield.
