Product Description: Indole-3-butyric acid (Indolebutyric acid) potassium is a plant growth auxin and a good rooting agent. It can promote herbs and woody ornamental plant rooting and used for improving fruit rate. Indole 3-butyric acid potassium is an auxin precursor, and is converted to indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) in a peroxisomal β-oxidation process[1].
Formula: C12H12KNO2
