Mepiquat chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt. Mepiquat chloride has proven effective in reducing irrigation requirements, increasing crop yield, and optimizing fertilizer usage. Mepiquat chloride finds widespread use in scientific research, encompassing various applications. It has been instrumental in examining the influence of plant hormones on growth and development, as well as investigating the impact of stress on plant physiology. The mode of action of mepiquat chloride is attributed to its role as an inhibitor of gibberellin biosynthesis, a vital plant hormone responsible for regulating plant growth and development.
