IBA 98% (Indole Butyric Acid)

Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA) 98% is a highly effective synthetic auxin widely used as a rooting hormone to stimulate the formation of adventitious roots in cuttings and tissue-cultured plants. Its chemical structure closely resembles naturally occurring IAA (Indole-3-Acetic Acid), but it is more stable, making it preferred in many commercial and research applications.

Key Benefits:

• Enhanced Root Formation: Accelerates root initiation and development in hardwood and softwood cuttings.
• Improves Transplant Success: Increases plant survival rates during propagation and transplantation.
• Widely Compatible: Suitable for a variety of plant species including ornamentals, vegetables, fruit trees, and field crops.
• Stable & Reliable: More chemically stable than natural auxins, ensuring consistent performance across applications.
• Useful in Micropropagation: Effective in root induction during in vitro culture and acclimatization phases.

Applications:

• Rooting Powder or Gel: Formulated into commercial rooting products for dip or brush-on use.
• Foliar Spray or Soil Drench: Used in diluted solutions for field application to promote root growth in seedlings or transplants.
• Tissue Culture: Used in MS media to induce root development in vitro.

Usage Guidelines::

• Dissolution: Soluble in ethanol or NaOH; prepare concentrated stock solution and dilute with water for application.
• Common Concentrations:
  • Rooting Cuttings: 500–3000 ppm depending on plant type and woodiness.
  • Tissue Culture: 0.1–2.0 mg/L depending on species.
• Tissue Culture: Used in MS media to induce root development in vitro.
• Method: Dip cuttings in solution or powder before planting, or incorporate into media for in vitro use.
