Uniconazole is widely used in agriculture as a plant growth regulator. It helps control the height of plants by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis, leading to shorter, sturdier stems. This is particularly beneficial for crops like rice, wheat, and ornamental plants, as it reduces the risk of lodging (falling over) and improves overall plant structure. In horticulture, it is applied to promote compact growth in ornamental plants, enhancing their aesthetic appeal. Additionally, it is used in turf management to maintain dense, low-growing grass. Uniconazole also plays a role in stress tolerance, helping plants withstand adverse conditions such as drought or high salinity. Its application is typically through foliar sprays, soil drenches, or seed treatments, depending on the desired effect.
