Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA)

Stimulates adventitious root development and callus formation. IBA can be included in media formulations for micropropagation to enhance plantlet root development. IBA can be applied to the graft union to promote faster callus formation and successful graft healing. IBA can promote germination in certain seeds with dormancy requirements
