About Indole 3 Butyric Acid

ndole-3-butyric acid (1H-indole-3-butanoic acid, IBA) is a white to light-yellow crystalline solid, with the molecular formula C12H13NO2. It melts at 125C in atmospheric pressure and decomposes before boiling

Stimulates Root Growth and Plant Health

Indole 3 Butyric Acid is specifically formulated to encourage robust root formation in plant cuttings, making it an essential tool for plant propagation. It efficiently promotes cell division and elongation, ensuring healthier, more resilient plants. Its versatility allows use across agriculture, horticulture, and tissue culture labs.

Safe, Stable, and Easy to Use

IBA is non-poisonous, odourless, and safe to handle under regular conditions. The crystalline powder remains stable when stored in a cool, dry location away from light and moisture, ensuring a two-year shelf life. For best results, dilute the product to the recommended concentrations before application.

Convenient Packaging and Quality Commitment

Packaged securely in 25 kg fiber drums or as specified by the customer, IBA offers flexibility for bulk buyers and exporters. Manufactured to technical grade quality standards, each batch provides consistent purity and appearance, meeting the needs of both large-scale industries and specialized horticulturalists.

FAQ's of Indole 3 Butyric Acid:

Q: How should Indole 3 Butyric Acid be applied to plant cuttings?

A: Indole 3 Butyric Acid should be diluted to the recommended concentration before application. Typically, cuttings are dipped or briefly soaked in the diluted solution, after which they are planted. Always follow specific usage directions for the crops or plants being propagated.

Q: What are the primary benefits of using Indole 3 Butyric Acid for plant propagation?

A: IBA boosts root development, enhances cell division, and improves the overall health and establishment rate of plant cuttings. This makes it particularly valuable for horticulturists and agriculturists focusing on rapid, healthy plant propagation.

Q: When should I use Indole 3 Butyric Acid during the plant growth process?

A: IBA is most effective during the initial propagation phase, particularly when preparing and rooting stem cuttings. It helps new roots develop quickly, increasing the chance of successful plant establishment.

Q: Where can Indole 3 Butyric Acid be stored for optimal stability?

A: Store IBA in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and moisture. Proper storage under these conditions maintains its chemical stability and effectiveness for up to two years.

Q: What is the solubility of Indole 3 Butyric Acid, and which solvents are suitable for dilution?

A: Indole 3 Butyric Acid is slightly soluble in water but dissolves readily in organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol, acetone, and ether. Choose a solvent based on your intended application and ensure thorough mixing for uniform treatment.

Q: Is Indole 3 Butyric Acid hazardous or poisonous to handle?

A: Under normal handling conditions, IBA is not classified as hazardous or poisonous. It is odourless and safe for routine use, but standard safety procedures should still be observed during preparation and application.
