Product Application of Indole-3-Acetic Acid CAS#87-51-4
Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA, CAS#87-51-4), a natural auxin, is mainly used in agricultural settings to stimulate root growth in cuttings, maintain flower and fruit quality, and support healthy plant development and fruit production. Its applications extend to horticultural tissue culture, plant stress resistance management, and research into physiological processes. Attention must be given to concentration levels to ensure effective use without inhibiting growth.
