Something that restrains or prevents the growth of a plant
Additive than improves the performance of a petroleum product by controlling undesirable chemical reactions, i.e., oxidation inhibitor, rust inhibitor, etc.
A material used to prevent rust or corrosion, or an agent, which arrests chemical reaction. .
A general term for compounds or materials having the effect of slowing down or stopping an undesired chemical changes such as corrosion, polymerization, drying, shrinking, etc.

A chemical additive that retards undesired chemical reaction such as corrosion, oxidation, drying, skinning, etc.
Any substance that retards or reduces the rate of a chemical reaction.
A substance which is added to slow down the rate of a chemical reaction; they are at times useful to prolong the storage or working life of certain types of adhesives.

A molecule which represses or prevents another molecule from engaging in a reaction.
A material which is added to prevent or block an unwanted reaction.
a chemical that acts to prevent or slow an undesirable chemical reaction; inhibitors are used in rubber to prevent premature onset of vulcanization (see scorching), also known as retarders

The process of stopping a chemical/enzymatic reaction using a variety of chemical and physical means. In drug discovery inhibition of a binding assay is a method to determine that the detected binding is specific to the target receptor. A known receptor-binding analog is added at increasing concentrations, if it is able to reduce the binding of the ligand then it is competing for the binding of the same site.
