Abstract
A method for controlling the growth rate of plants is provided. The method is directed to using a ureaformaldehyde foam composition blended with a soil formulation.

The ureaformaldehyde foam can also be used to increase the germination rate of seeds and to increase the percentage of seeds that germinate.
