RESUMO
Indolecarboxylic acids belong to the auxins group. They constitute a class of phytohormones, which play an important role in plant growth. This paper deals with the kinetics of six indolecarboxylic acids and their regulation effects on the growth of groundnut (Arachis hypogea) and haricot bean (Phaseolus vulgaris). The results obtained enabled us to establish a relationship between photodegradation rate constants and their regulation properties on the growth of these two plants. The paper shows that the compounds yielding the highest photodegradation rates were efficient growth regulators. In this regard, a few explanations are provided.
