Description

1-Naphthaleneacetic Acid Potassium Salt is the potassium salt form of the synthetic plant growth regulator 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). This formulation offers enhanced water solubility and stability, making it a critical component for precise agricultural and horticultural applications. It is primarily utilized by professionals in the plant science, agricultural chemical, and research sectors to regulate plant growth, promote rooting, and prevent premature fruit drop.

Application

• Plant Growth Regulation: Used to control fruit set, thinning, and prevent pre-harvest drop in apples, pears, and other orchard crops.
• Rooting Agent: Applied to stimulate root formation in cuttings for the propagation of ornamental plants and trees.
• Agricultural Formulations: Serves as a key active ingredient in the production of commercial plant growth regulator solutions and soluble concentrates.
• Tissue Culture: Employed in plant tissue culture media to induce callus formation and regulate morphogenesis.
• Research & Development: Used as a standard or reagent in agricultural and botanical research studies concerning auxin activity.
