Abstract:
In the present paper, the safety of several major plant growth regulators to environment, agricultural products and animals was discussed synthetically. Paclobutrazol is stable in physical and chemical properties with slow degradation, and is able to secondly control the plant growth obviously, but it is degradable and becomes mutagenic substance, it can be enriched in the soil and is able to bio-magnify. Uniconazole is quick degradable with less residue. Ethephon is potentially mutagenic to the animals, it is degradable and can produce residues which will be harmfulto animal body. Moreover, their residual quantity differs with different organs in a plant and their residue in the leafage of several plants is in a high level.
