The control of plant growth is a reason why auxins are in weed killers. The hormone in question makes plants grow at the appropriate rate within the proper timespan. Weed killers try to alter, slow down or speed up growth to the detriment of the undesirable, unfamiliar vegetation in question.

How do auxins as weed killers help farmers?

Auxins are a type of plant hormone used in weed killers to disrupt the growth patterns of weeds, leading to uncontrolled growth and eventually killing them. They work by promoting the development of stem and leaf tissues while inhibiting root development in the weeds. This selective action allows farmers to target and eliminate unwanted weeds while leaving the desired crops unharmed.


What does weed killer do to auxins?

Weed killers, or herbicides, often contain synthetic auxins that disrupt the normal growth patterns of plants. These chemicals mimic natural plant hormones, leading to uncontrolled growth, especially in broadleaf weeds. The excessive auxin levels can cause abnormal growth responses, such as twisting, swelling, and eventual death of the plant, while typically leaving grasses unharmed. This selective action allows for effective weed control in agricultural and garden settings.
