3-INDOLEBUTYRIC ACID
1. Usage: 3-Indolebutyric Acid is an endogenous auxin, which can promote cell division and cell growth, induce adventitious root formation, increase fruit setting, and change the proportion of female and male flowers. It can enter the plant body through the tender epidermis and seeds of leaves and branches, and it can be transported to the active parts along with the nutrient flow.(1) Adventitious roots were induced to promote rooting of cuttings;(2) Stimulate cell division and tissue differentiation, induce Parthenocarpy and form seedless fruit.

IBA combines stability (unlike IAA) with low phytotoxicity (unlike NAA), while effectively promoting adventitious root initiation. Its intermediate polarity allows better transport to rooting zones than more polar auxins, making it the gold standard for vegetative propagation across most woody and herbaceous species.
Commercial products include potassium salt solutions (liquid formulations), talc-based powders (1000-8000 ppm), and gel formulations combining IBA with fungicides. Powder dips suit woody cuttings, while liquids work better for herbaceous material.
Maintain rooting media at 20-25°C - cooler temperatures slow root initiation while hotter conditions increase decay. High humidity (80-95% RH) prevents cutting desiccation. Bottom heat (2-5°C above air temp) accelerates root emergence.
Combining with broad-spectrum fungicides (e.g., thiophanate-methyl) reduces stem rot by 60-80% without affecting rooting. Some formulations incorporate both components for convenience, though separate applications allow better rate adjustments.
Wear gloves and eye protection - concentrated solutions irritate skin. Store away from alkaline materials. No environmental hazards at recommended use rates. Degrades rapidly in soil to non-toxic compounds.
