Aromatic plants are those which bear essential oil that can be influenced by many factors like genetic, climatic factors and agronomic practices, these will play an important role. Among the different agronomic practices growth regulators influence the essential oil content in the aromatic crops. Most of the growth regulators like gibberellins, brassinolides, kinetins, NAA, and CCC were not effective in improving quality of aromatic crops but use of appropriate growth regulators at optimum concentration and right stage of the crop growth can increase the herbage and essential oil yield of aromatic crops.
