FIELD: organic chemistry, agriculture. SUBSTANCE: invention describes the use of known compounds of the formula C6H5CH2X where X means hydroxyl group, used as growth- -regulating agents and eliciting auxin activity and used for seedling rooting and other planting materials. Except for, compounds wherein X means show additional retardant activity. Invention provides acceleration of seedling rooting and other planting materials, acceleration and synchronization of fruits maturation and enhancement of mass and production of cereal, root crop, tuber-like and vegetable crops, biennial seeds, reduction of loss as result of damage of root crops and tubers with pit rots in storage before their processing and using. EFFECT: valuable agricultural properties of compounds. 2 cl, 12 tbl
