Abstract

SUMMARYA number of ring substituted 2‐chloro‐3‐phenoxypropionitriles have been prepared and their plant growth‐regulating activity has been assessed in the wheat coleoptile, pea segment and pea curvature tests, and also by spray treatments on tomato and dwarf French bean plants. The activities of these compounds are compared with those of previously studied 2‐chloro‐3‐phenylpropionitriles and the results are discussed in terms of chemical structure/biological activity relationships and mode of action.
