Indole-3-Propionic Acid

Indole-3-propionic acid is a powerful neuroprotective antioxidant, plant auxin, and natural product in humans that is being researched for its potential therapeutic application in Alzheimer’s disease. In plants, Indole-3-propionic acid is used as a growth hormone that is used in several commercial horticultural plant root products.

Molecular Formulae– C11H11NO2

Alternative Names– 3-Indolepropionic acid, 3-(3-Indolyl) propanoic acid

ADVANTAGES AND USES

• Plant hormones have multiple cell growth actions, including cell division, elongation, leaf autonomic loss, and the production of buds, roots, flowers, and fruit.
• Light inhibits the compound, which performs a crucial function in assisting the plant’s growth toward light sources.
• Plant development and production are boosted by indole-3-propionic acid.
• 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-propionic acid works by promoting cell growth, production of buds and faster growth of flowers and fruits.

TIME OF APPLICATION

RECOMMENDED USAGE- 

• The recommended usage is 5 to 10% weight by volume. 
• For solid application, use 1-3 kg/acre, depending on the type of the crop.

HOW TO USE

• Our indole-3-propionic 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.
