Description :

Overview of Indole-3-Butyric Acid

Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA) is a synthetic auxin plant growth regulator widely used for root initiation, propagation, and development. The product comes in the form of white to off-white crystalline powder with limited indole 3 butyric acid solubility in water (approximately 390 mg/L at 20°C) - essential for indole 3 butyric acid uses in cuttings, tissue culture, and grafting.

Applications of Indole-3-Butyric Acid

Rooting Hormone for Cuttings

Indole 3 butyric acid induces adventitious roots in woody and herbaceous cuttings.

• Highly effective for roses, fruit trees, ornamentals, and forestry species.

• Essential for Agriculture Industry nursery production.

• Complements Rock Phosphate root nutrition programs.

Tissue Culture & Micropropagation

Indole 3 butyric acid in plant growth and development regulates callus formation and rooting.

• Standard auxin for plant tissue culture protocols.

• Works with Cyanamide growth stimulation.

• Supports Tributyltin Oxide specialty horticulture.

Grafting & Layering Enhancement

Improves graft union formation and layering success.

• Increases rooting percentage and vigor in commercial propagation.

• Essential for Fertilizer Industry supported nurseries.

• Perfect for avocado, citrus, grapes, and ornamental grafting.

Herbicide & Growth Regulation

Low concentrations promote growth; higher rates inhibit elongation.

• Controls sucker growth in tobacco and cotton.

• Regulates fruit drop and parthenocarpy formation.

Safety & Handling Guidelines

Use standard safety precautions when handling indole 3 butyric acid, as you would with other plant growth regulators.

• Store it in a cool, dry, dark place away from strong oxidizers and alkalis.

• Wear gloves, goggles, and lab coat during powder handling and solution preparation.

• Keep indole 3 butyric acid away from food, children, and direct sunlight.

• Use alcohol or alkaline solutions to improve indole 3 butyric acid solubility.

• Check the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for detailed safety instructions.

Indole-3-Butyric Acid MSDS

The MSDS for indole 3 butyric acid gives detailed information about indole 3 butyric acid solubility, indole 3 butyric acid solubility in water, phytotoxicity limits, safe handling, formulation stability, and tissue culture protocols. This information is important for commercial propagators and research facilities.

ChemicalBull includes the MSDS, solubility enhancement guides, and concentration charts with every order.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How to use indole 3 butyric acid?

   Indole 3 butyric acid is used as quick dip (500-5000 ppm), talc powder (0.1-1%), or lanolin paste on cuttings. Dissolve in 50% alcohol or 0.1N NaOH for better indole 3 butyric acid solubility in water.
   
   
   

2. How to use indole-3-butyric acid in powder?

   Mix indole-3-butyric acid powder 0.1-1% w/w with talc for basal application, or dissolve 100-500mg/L in alcohol/alkali solution for liquid dip. Apply immediately to fresh cuttings.
   
   
   

3. What is indole 3 butyric acid solubility?

   Indole 3 butyric acid solubility is 390 mg/L in water at 20°C, highly soluble in ethanol, acetone, and alkaline solutions (NaOH, KOH).
   
   
   

4. What are indole 3 butyric acid uses?

   Indole 3 butyric acid uses include rooting cuttings (80-95% success), tissue culture, grafting, sucker control, and regulating indole 3 butyric acid in plant growth and development.
   
   
   

5. Which plants respond best to IBA?

   Woody ornamentals, fruit trees, roses, rhododendrons, forestry species, and difficult-to-root cuttings show excellent rooting with indole 3 butyric acid.
