    Paclobutrazol (PBZ), [2RS, 3RS]-1-[4-chlorophenyl]-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) pentan-3-ol, consists of a triazole ring and a benzene ring-chloro linked to a carbon chain open. It is a plant growth regulator widely used in many crops in order to produce fruit throughout the year by inhibiting gibberellin synthesis; a hormone responsible for the vegetative plant growth. The biennial bearing is very serious problem in fruit crop production. Therefore, application of paclobutrazol is most widely studied in view of its high potential for controlling plant growth and development of fruit crops in general. It inhibits gibberellin biosynthesis at kaurene stage and has proved to be reduction of vegetative growth, promising for flower initiation in shoot bud, giving early and profuse flowering, increases fruit yield and improving quality regularly in alternate bearing cultivars.
