Abstract: A composition for regulating plant growth which comprises as an active ingredient(s) at least one 3-substituted phenylpyrazole derivative represented by the general formula (I): ##STR1## and acts as a desiccant or defoliant for root vegetables (e.g. potato), fiber crops (e.g. cotton), oil crops (e.g. soybean and sunflower) and cereals (e.g. rice); and a method for applying said composition.

Abstract: The process for the production of a spacered substrate for use in a self-emitting display, provided by the present invention, comprises the steps of exposing a photosensitive glass to light while masking a portion to form a spacer on a surface of the photosensitive glass, to form a latent image corresponding to an exposed portion, crystallizing the exposed portion having the latent image, removing a crystallized exposed portion by an etching treatment, and thereby forming a spacer of non-exposed photosensitive glass on a glass substrate. According to the present invention, there is provided a spacered substrate for use in a self-emitting display, in which the spacer has high accuracy and high heat resistance and the roughening of the substrate surface is not easily caused.
