As key endogenous signal molecules regulating plant growth processes, plant hormones have significant applications in forage breeding. The experiment used ‘<i>Elymus sibiricus</i> Qingmu No. 2’ as the test material, and the effects of foliar applied phytohormones of gibberellin (GA<sub>3</sub>: 50, 100, 200, and 300 mg/L), cytokinin (6-BA: 1, 10, 100, and 150 mg/L), epibrassinolide (EBR: 0.01, 0.1, 1, and 10 mg/L), zeatin (ZT: 1, 10, 20, and 100 mg/L), and auxin (IAA: 10, 50, 100, and 150 mg/L) on growth and physiological responses in <i>Elymus sibiricus</i> were investigated. The results indicated that GA<sub>3</sub> at 200 mg/L significantly enhanced biomass by 38.19%, plant height by 75.11%, and leaf area by 40.58% compared to controls. IAA (150 mg/L) specifically increased stem diameter by 38.25%, while 6-BA (100 mg/L) elevated chlorophyll content and antioxidant enzyme activities, indicating dual photoprotective and stress-mitigating roles. EBR (1 mg/L) and ZT (20 mg/L) moderately enhanced growth metrics. All treatments universally boosted stress tolerance via soluble sugar/protein accumulation and antioxidant system activation. Through comprehensive analysis, we recommend GA<sub>3</sub> (200 mg/L) for effective grassland improvement, propose synergistic combinations of 6-BA and IAA to overcome morphological limitations, and highlight ultra-low EBR (0.01–0.1 mg/L) as a priority for future research.
