Widely used in plant tissue culture and agricultural research, this chemical promotes root development in cuttings and supports studies on plant growth regulation. It functions as a key auxin in experiments involving cell elongation, apical dominance, and fruit development. The standard solution format makes it suitable for precise dosing in analytical methods like HPLC and spectrophotometry, ensuring accurate quantification in physiological studies. It is also employed in formulation development for growth regulators and in environmental testing to assess plant hormone residues.
