IBA (Indole-3-butyric acid)
-
Key auxin for stimulating root initiation and development in cuttings and tissue cultures.
-
Promotes strong, healthy roots that provide a solid foundation for subsequent plant growth.
-
Widely used in commercial micropropagation and nursery operations.
-
Compared to NAA, IBA tends to produce more uniform and robust root systems with fewer callus formations.
-
Often applied in combination with cytokinins during early stages of micropropagation to balance shoot and root growth.
-
Compatible with gelled media such as Agar or Gelrite, ensuring easy handling and stable rooting environments.
