Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA) | Rooting Hormone & Plant Growth Regulator
Product Description:
Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA) is a synthetic plant hormone from the auxin family, widely used as a rooting agent and plant growth regulator in horticulture, agriculture, and tissue culture applications.
This highly effective auxin stimulates root development in cuttings and transplants, reduces transplant shock, and enhances flower formation and fruit enlargement in various crops—ultimately increasing overall crop yield.
Key Benefits:
- Rooting Agent: Promotes rapid and strong root formation in cuttings of ornamental and agricultural plants.
- Transplant Support: Reduces stress during transplantation by encouraging early root establishment.
- Crop Yield Enhancement: Stimulates flowering and fruit growth, contributing to higher productivity.
- Tissue Culture Applications: Essential in micropropagation procedures to induce in vitro rooting in plant explants.
- Callus Formation: Works synergistically with cytokinins (e.g., kinetin) to induce callus growth, the critical first step in tissue regeneration processes.
- Widely Used in Horticulture: Commonly found in commercial rooting powders and gels.
Applications Include:
- Ornamental plant propagation
- Vegetable seedling development
- Micropropagation and plant tissue culture
- Commercial nursery operations
Application Method:
Use as directed for foliar spray, stem dipping, or incorporation into culture media, depending on crop and usage scenario.
