Indole butyric acid (IBA) is a broad spectrum indole class plant growth regulator, widely recognized for its powerful root inducing activity. It effectively promotes root generation and growth in cuttings of both herbaceous and woody ornamental plant species. Furthermore, it can be applied to improve fruit set and boost the overall fruit formation rate in various crops.
Indole butyric acid (IBA) is a highly versatile indole based plant growth regulator valued for its reliable rooting effects. It supports root development and vigorous growth of cuttings across both herbaceous and woody ornamentals. It also helps enhance fruit set and increase the fruit setting percentage in agricultural production.
