    Product Description

    Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) is a plant hormone of the auxin class that encourages plant growth and root production.1,2 Addition of IBA to rooting medium enhances root formation and improves S. rebaudiana plant survival.1 IBA also increases the amount of differentiated tissue and solasodine production by S. elaeagnifolium seedlings in a dose-dependent manner.2 Formulations containing indole-3-butyric acid have been used to enhance the growth of food crops in agriculture.
