Plant hormones don't kill weeds. They are used for killing pests like aphids which absorb the hormone present in the phloem of the plant. These hormones are toxic for them and they die after consuming them.

Disadvantages can arise when hormone levels are imbalanced, leading to abnormal growth patterns or susceptibility to diseases. Overuse of synthetic hormones can also have negative impacts on the environment.


Are growth hormones produced by plants?

Growth hormones include plant hormones (natural & synthetic), but also include non-nutrient chemicals not found naturally in plants that when applied to plants, influence their growth and development. Therefore growth hormones are synthesized by plant and also we have the synthetic ones which include: are 2, 4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D). 2, 4, 5-Trichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4, 5-T), 2-methyl 4 chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), 3-methyl 4 chlorophenoxyacetic acid.
