Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The hormonal changes that occur in the lateral buds after the shoot tip is pruned.
Introduction:
Pruning simply refers to the removal of undesirable plant parts to promote better development. Pruning helps in the stimulation of the growth of the lateral buds in a plant.
