Growth Hormone Abnormalities in Mango Plants (Mangifera indica)

Abstract

Hormone disorders in plants have many causal factors, including variations in temperature, light, humidity, and the availability of nutrients needed by plants. As plants experience hormonal changes throughout their cycle with significant changes especially in the growth, shedding, and fruiting phases, plant conditions including nutrient balance, root cleanliness, and structural integrity can affect their ability to produce and respond appropriately to hormones. In the growth of mango plants there are two important stages, namely the initiation stage and the induction stage.
