Abstract

In 1949 Schoene and Hoffmann reported that maleic hydrazide (MH) had a pronounced but temporary inhibitory effect on plant growth causing little visible harm to the plant. Although its properties are better represented by the structure 6-hydroxy-3(2H) pyridazinone, MH is usually defined chemically as l,2-dihydro-3,6-pyridazinedione. Proliferation of its use as an herbicide, fungicide, growth inhibitor, and growth regulator followed quickly. Currently it is enjoying very wide use due to its relative safety in spite of some reservations which have been expressed over certain of its side effects.
