description Product Description
3-Indoleacetic acid is widely used in agriculture as a plant growth regulator. It promotes root development in cuttings and enhances the growth of plants by stimulating cell elongation and division. This compound is particularly effective in horticulture for propagating plants from cuttings, ensuring stronger and healthier root systems. Additionally, it is utilized in tissue culture to induce callus formation and organogenesis, aiding in the production of genetically identical plants. In some cases, it is applied to improve fruit setting and yield in crops, contributing to increased agricultural productivity. Its role in regulating plant growth makes it a valuable tool in modern farming and plant research.
