The multifaceted impact of growth hormones is on crops, aiming to enhance our understanding of their diverse effects. Employing a systematic approach, various growth hormones, including auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, abscisic acid and ethylene were applied to different crops. The research explores the hormones' influence on plant growth, development, yield, and stress responses. Results reveal nuanced outcomes, with some hormones demonstrating stimulatory effects on shoot elongation and flowering, while others exhibit more pronounced impacts on root development and fruit maturation. By comprehensively the varied effects of growth hormones, contributes valuable insights to optimize their application in agriculture for improved crop productivity, resource efficiency, and stress resilience. The dynamic nature of environmental factors such as soil quality, temperature fluctuations, and water availability presents hurdles in isolating the specific impacts of individual hormones on crop growth. Despite the challenges, this review consolidates existing research to offer a comprehensive understanding of the intricate roles played by plant growth hormones in crop development.
