Description

Maleic hydrazide (MH) is a plant growth regulator with a broad range of effects. It is synthesized by reacting maleic anhydride with hydrazine hydrate. MH inhibits cell division and growth in plants, leading to the suppression of shoot elongation, leaf growth, and flower development. It also acts as a defoliant and a desiccant, causing leaves to fall off and plants to dry out. MH has been used for decades in agriculture to control weeds, prevent sprouting in potatoes, and delay the maturity of crops like tobacco. It has also been investigated for its potential as a growth regulator in turfgrass, where it can promote dormancy and improve turf quality. MH is a subject of ongoing research due to its unique biological activity and potential applications in agriculture, horticulture, and other fields. Research efforts are focused on understanding its mechanisms of action, exploring new applications, and mitigating any potential environmental impacts.'

Maleic Hydrazide: 1,2-Dihydro-3,6-pyridazinedione. A herbicide and plant growth regulator; also used to control suckering of tobacco. Its residue in food and tobacco is highly toxic, causing CNS disturbances and liver damage. [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]
