English term or phrase: vegetative fitohormone

Dear Colleagues! Need help with translation of the whole sentence:

Soya Isoflavone is actually a vegetative fitohormone which ideally coincides with estrogen’s receptor.

Context:

Molecule of Soya Isoflavone is very much similar to molecule of the female sex hormone estrogen. Soya Isoflavone is actually a vegetative fitohormone which ideally coincides with estrogen’s receptor.

växthormon

Explanation:
Poor English. I suppose that "vegetative hormone" is supposed to mean plant hormone. "Fitohormone" is a typo for "phytohormone", which also means "plant hormone" (from greek "phyton", plant).
