Answer:
No, we do not agree with this opinion. Ethylene is used to ripen quickly fruits like tomato, lemon,
orange etc. on a commercial basis and to induce flowering in pineapple. Growth of root can be
artificially induced in the stem by immersing in Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA).
Unscientific use or uncontrolled use of plant hormones may causes many health and environmental
issues. If we use them scientifically, they are use

Phytohormones are chemicals just like animal hormones that help in the growth, development, and functioning of plants.
There are five major hormones which are auxin, cytokinin, gibberellin, abscisic acid, and ethylene. Each hormone differs in its effects
The auxins, gibberellins, and cytokinins act as growth stimulators, whereas, abscisic acid and ethylene act as growth inhibitors.
The application of auxin to cut shoots causes growth of new roots. If this is then planted either hydroponically or in an orthodox compost planter then the plant is cloned.
Synthetic auxins can be sprayed onto unwanted plants, causing an increase in metabolism and as a result of rapid growth. This soon becomes unsustainable, and the plant dies.
