Function characteristics
It has the activity of auxin, but it is not easy to be transported in the body after being absorbed by plants. Compared with indoleacetic acid, it is not easily decomposed by light and is relatively stable. Compared with naphthalene acetic acid, it is safe and not easy to damage the branches. It is not easy to conduct, and only stays at the treatment site, which is relatively safe to use. It has a strong effect on rooting of cuttings, but the adventitious roots are long and thin, and it is best to be used in combination with naphthalene acetic acid.
