Agriculture is one of the most important activities of humans. This activity not only brings wealth but also is key to the food safety of countries. In order to meet the increasing demand for food, the farmers have been using different agricultural supplies as growth regulations (GR) that are related to plant growth and development. These GR content hormones whose role in different metabolic processes of the plants are widely studied; however, the systematized information on the practical use of plant hormones in agriculture is still scarce. This information is key since it can be used by many agricultural researchers in order to find potential applications in new cultures. In this context, this review seeks to systematize the information on the discovery, synthesis, and practical use of PGR in agriculture.

Keywords : Agriculture; food safety; growth regulators; hormones.
