Indole-3-Acetic Acid

The most frequent naturally occurring plant hormone in the auxin class is indole-3-acetic acid. It is the most well-known auxin and has been the focus of substantial research by plant physiologists. It is an indole derivative with a carboxymethyl substituent. It is an odourless, colourless solid that dissolves in polar organic solvents.

Molecular Formulae– C10H9NO2

Alternative Names– Heteroauxin

ADVANTAGES AND USES

• Indole-3-acetic acid has multiple cell growth actions, including cell division, elongation, leaf autonomic loss, and the production of buds, roots, flowers, and fruit.
• It promotes organ development and fertility in plants.
• Indole-3-acetic acid boosts plant development and maximises production.
• It neutralises acidic and alkaline soils while also regulating pH levels.
• It promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the soil and maintains its health.

HOW IT WORKS

• It works by providing essential hormones to the plants that help in boosting crop production. 
• Indole-3-acetic acid works by promoting cell growth, production of buds, and faster growth of flowers and fruits.

TIME OF APPLICATION

• It can be used all year round.
• It can be used once a month since it is not taken up by the plants and will remain in the soil for a long time. 

RECOMMENDED USAGE- 

• The recommended usage is 1 to 2% weight by volume. 
• For solid application, use 0.5-2 kg/acre, depending on the type of the crop.

HOW TO USE

• Our indole-3-acetic acid after mixing with ethanol should be added to a sprayer or mixing tank that is already filled with fresh water.
• Spray directly on the soil or near the plants’ roots.
