Used primarily in agriculture as a plant growth regulator, it promotes cell division and enhances the growth of plants. It is applied to improve the yield and quality of crops by stimulating the development of fruits and delaying the aging process of plant tissues. Additionally, it is utilized in tissue culture to induce the formation of shoots from plant cells, aiding in the propagation of plants. Its ability to modify plant growth makes it valuable in horticulture for producing more robust and healthier plants.
