Classification: Biological Pesticide, Plant Growth Regulator

MF: C12H12KNO2

Molecular Weight: 241.33

Physics and chemical properties: Pink powder or yellow crystal, it is easily dissolve in the water, activity higher than indoleacetic acid, it will be slow to decomposition under the strong light, stored under shading condition, and stable of the molecular structure. Its melting point is 121-124°C.

Toxicity: acute oral LD50 in mice for 3160 mg/kg, on the skin LD50 in mice for 5000 mg/kg.

Function and mechanism:

Potassium 3-Indolebutyric acid is a kind of plant growth regulator that promote rooting. Induced the formation of adventitious root crops, it can enter the inside of plants by leaves, seeds and other part, and focus on the growing point, promote cell fission, break the seed dormancy. It showed that have many roots, the root straight, the root thick and many root hairs. It is the best regulator of rooting and strong seedling in the winter.

Scope of application: 

It is mainly used for the cutting rooting agent, and also used the synergist of blunt, drip irrigation and foliar fertilizer.
