The below mentioned article will highlight the eleven uses of auxins in the field of agriculture and horticulture.
They are: (1) Apical Dominance (2) Meristematic Activity (3) Rooting (4) Parthenocarpic or Seedless Fruits (5) Flowering in Pineapple (6) Prevention of Premature Fall of Fruits (7) Prevention of Sprouting of Potatoes (8) Weed Killing (9) Control of Lodging (10) Differentiation of Xylem and Phloem
(1) Apical Dominance:
The auxins greatly influence the development of plant form and structure. It has long been known that while the main shoot of a plant is growing, its lateral buds are inhibited. If, however, the bud at the apex is cut off, the lateral buds begin to develop. It has been postulated that an inhibiting substance diffuses from the growing bud to the tissue below it.

Answer:
There are various different uses of theauxins in the field of agriculture andhorticulture. Auxins promote elongation of stem and coleoptile. It promotes the growth by the elongation of cells in the apical meristem. Growth in the lateral bud is inhibited when the apical bud of a tall plant remains intact.
