3-indolebutyric acid is a broad spectrum indole based plant growth regulator

3-indolebutyric acid, a broad-spectrum indole growth regulator, is a good rooting agent and promotes rooting in herbaceous and woody ornamental plant plantings. Dip root transplants, commonly used in woody and herbaceous plants, can accelerate root growth and improve the percentage of plants rooting, can also be used in dip and seed dressing of plant seeds, can improve germination and survival rates. 3-indolebutyric  acid is an endogenous auxin that can promote cell division and cell growth, induce the formation of adventitious roots, increase fruit set, prevent larch, and alter the female to male flower ratio, among others. It can enter the plant via the leaves, the tender epidermis of the dendrites, and the seeds, and then be transported to the site where it functions with nutrient flow. Indolebutyric acid as a plant growth agent promotes growth at the seedling stage of crops. The main uses are to promote the growth of the main root of the plant, increase germination rate, and survival rate. Used to facilitate rooting of cuttings. Plant growth regulators are synthetic, physiologically active, phytohormone like and able to modulate plant physiology, and organic compounds that control plant growth and reproduction, and indolebutyric  acid (IBA) with naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) are two commonly used plant growth regulators for rooting, with indolebutyric acid being the most effective because it is less mobile in plants, Easily remain near the site of use. In addition, if one root promoting growth regulator is mixed with another substance that facilitates the action of the growth regulator, it may exhibit synergism or additivity, possibly resulting in a more satisfactory effect for plants that are difficult to root. Indolebutyric acid promoted rooting strongly, but the resulting adventitious roots were fine and long, whereas the root promoting effect of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) was small and coarse roots, and therefore, a combination of the two, often resulted in better. 3-indolebutyric acid is not easily oxidized in plants and has poor conduction properties. With indoleacetic acid like physiological effects, can act on cell division and cell growth in plants, but less obviously than indoleacetic acid, mainly used to promote barbed hairy roots, effectively promoting layer forming cell division. The longer maintenance pharmacodynamic time, the formation of adventitious roots more and elongated, and the better effect of mixed application with naphthalene acetic acid. 3-indolylbutyric acid can be used in the rooting and cutting of chrysanthemums and other ornamental plants to promote rooting at a concentration of 0.5-1.0mg/l, but is not used in the leaf parts of the plants. Degradation and metabolism: rapid degradation in soil.

Indolebutyric acid is used as a plant growth stimulating hormone to promote primary root growth and improve germination and survival rates. With it can promote fruit setting or monosexuality in loci such as tomato, pepper, cucumber, fig, strawberry, Nigella, eggplant, etc., dip or spray flowers, and the concentration of the fruit is around 250mg / L. Due to the higher cost of single agent use, multiple for reconstitution.
