Process for regulating plant growth by treating the plants or the soil with an effective amount of a compound of the formula <IMAGE> in which R¹ is hydrogen, alkyl, methoxycarbonyl or optionally substituted aryl, R² is hydrogen or alkyl, R³ alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, optionally substituted Phenyl or optionally substituted aralkyl, Az imidazol-1-yl, 1,2,4-triazol-1-yl or 1,2,4-triazol-4-yl and n are 0, 1 or 2 or their salts or metal complexes. This treatment in particular reduces the growth in length of the plants. |
