Abstract
Benzimidazole compounds of the following structural formula modify the growth and development of plants: ##STR1## wherein U is selected from -hydrogen, -halogen, -lower alkyl, -lower alkoxy, phenyl, and -phenoxy optionally carrying 1 or 2 substituents independently selected from -halogen and -lower haloalkyl; PA1 V is selected from -hydrogen, -halogen, or U and V taken together are --C.sub.4 H.sub.4 -- joining adjacent ring positions; PA1 W is selected from -hydrogen and -lower alkyl; and PA1 Z is selected from -hydroxy, -lower alkoxy, and --OM where M is an agriculturally acceptable cation, or W and Z together may constitute a chemical bond.
