Description

Ammonium Naphthalene-1-Acetate is the ammonium salt of 1-naphthylacetic acid, a synthetic plant growth regulator. This compound is valued for its stability and solubility, offering a practical formulation for precise agricultural and horticultural applications. It is primarily utilized by professionals in the agrochemical, plant tissue culture, and commercial horticulture industries to manage plant growth and development.

Application

• Plant Growth Regulation: Used to promote rooting in cuttings and prevent premature fruit drop in orchards.
• Agricultural Formulations: A key active ingredient in commercial plant growth regulator (PGR) products for crops like tomatoes, apples, and olives.
• Horticulture: Applied to enhance the propagation success of ornamental plants and nursery stock.
• Tissue Culture: Employed in plant biotechnology and micropropagation media to stimulate callus formation and root initiation.
• Fruit Thinning: Aids in chemical fruit thinning processes to improve the size and quality of the remaining harvest.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard compound in phytotoxicity studies and agricultural research on auxin-type plant hormones.
