Primary Applications & Functions
IBA is a versatile plant growth promoter widely recognized for its root-inducing properties. Its core functions include:
- Rooting Agent for Cuttings: Promotes the formation of root primordia, stimulates cell differentiation and division, and significantly improves the success rate of adventitious root development in herbaceous and woody plant cuttings (trees, flowers, etc.).
- Plant Growth Regulator: Enhances cell growth, increases fruit set, prevents premature fruit drop, and can influence flower sex ratios.
- Systemic Action: Easily absorbed through leaves, stems, and seeds, translocating to active sites within the plant.
- Application Versatility: Suitable for use as a rooting dip/soak for transplants, a seed treatment, a synergist for foliar fertilizers and irrigation systems (flush/drip), and in tissue culture to promote callus proliferation.
- Benefits: Accelerates root growth, increases rooting ratio, strengthens plant establishment after transplanting, and improves crop yield and quality.
Packing & Storage
- Packing: Standard 1 kg aluminum foil bag, 25 kg net fiber drum. Customized packaging options are available to meet specific requirements.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place in a tightly sealed container to maintain stability and efficacy.
