    Product Description

    Karrikinolide is a plant growth regulator that has been found in plant-derived smoke.1 It increases the germination rate and seedling mass in a panel of eight arable weed species when applied to filter paper at a concentration of 1 µM. Topical application of karrikinolide (0.1 nM) increases the number of leaves, leaf length, and fresh and dry leaf weights in commercial onion (A. cepa) plants.2

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
