Application
2.1 To get what effect? Indole butyric acid is mainly used as rooting agent for cuttings. It can also be used as flushing application, drip irrigation, flushing fertilization synergist, leaf fertilizer synergist and plant growth regulator. It is used for cell division and cell proliferation to promote the root meristem of herbaceous and woody plants. 2.2 To be used on what crops? It can promote fruit setting or parthenocarpy of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, figs, strawberries, Trichoderma nigrum and eggplant, and the concentration of soaking or spraying flowers and fruits is about 250mg / L. Due to the high cost of single agent, it is mostly used for compounding. The main purpose is to promote the rooting of various plant cuttings and the early rooting and multi rooting of some transplanted crops. 2.3 Dosage and usage| Formulations | Crop names | Control object | Dosage | Usage Method |
