Uses:

3-Indolebutyric acid is widely used in agriculture and horticulture, summarized as follows:

1. Promoting the rooting of cuttings: This is its most important and classic use. It is widely used in the propagation of 

    trees and flowers through cuttings, which can effectively stimulate the formation and growth of adventitious roots 

    at the base of cuttings, significantly improving rooting rate and quality.

2. Improve transplantation survival rate: Used for root soaking transplantation of woody and herbaceous plants,

    it can accelerate the growth of new roots, help seedlings or transplanted seedlings recover faster, and improve survival rate.

3. Seed treatment: It can be used for soaking or mixing seeds to promote seed germination, increase germination rate, 

    and improve the robustness of seedlings.

4. Protecting flowers and fruits: Used for some melon and fruit crops, it helps to improve fruit set rate.
