Induce – IBA Powders / Liquids & Gels
Plant Propagating Hormone
Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA) is a systemic, naturally occurring auxin-like compound that functions as a potent root-promoting plant growth regulator. Promotes cell division and elongation, enhances root initiation, and improves the establishment of softwood, semi-hardwood, and hardwood cuttings during propagation.
Kendon offers customised IBA blends in a range of strengths and formulations, with the flexibility to include or exclude NAA to suit specific customer requirements. Our IBA products are manufactured to order, ensuring the use of fresh product.
Most commonly supplied formulations include:
| Strength | 1g/kg IBA (1000ppm) | 3g/kg IBA (3000ppm) | IBA Rootstrike 4g/kg (4000ppm) | 5g/kg IBA (5000ppm) | 8g/kg IBA (8000ppm) | Synerol (IBA-5000ppm, NAA-5000ppm, Boron 32ppm |

Profile
IBA acts like natural auxins to regulate cell division and elongation, induces root primordia formation, promotes vascular development in new roots, works locally at the application site, and enhances the success and speed of cutting propagation. IBA is metabolized to indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) (the primary active auxin) in plants through a process called peroxisomal beta-oxidation. This conversion is essential for IBA to exhibit its auxin activity and regulate plant development.
Key Features & Benefits
- Promotes rapid and uniform root initiation in cuttings.
- Enhances development of strong and healthy roots with functional vascular tissues.
- Acts locally at the application site for targeted rooting.
- Increases propagation success and reduces establishment time.
- Improves survival and growth of new plants.
- Available in powders, liquids or gels
- Synerol, in addition to IBA/NAA, contains boron, which will contribute to strong cell wall strength.
Toxicity
Acute oral (LD50, mg/kg) rats – 5660
How to Use - LIQUID Formulation
- Use undiluted or with an equal volume of distilled water.
- Dip base of cutting to a depth of about 5mm into the Induce in a shallow container for 5 seconds.
- Allow to dry and insert half the length of the cutting into a striking medium made from 2 parts of washed river sand to 1 part of peat moss. Water in thoroughly. Keep medium moist. Cuttings that are hard to strike may need bottom heat inside a glass frame. Test a small batch of cutting to ensure that treatment will not cause damage. If damage occurs dilute concentrate with equal volume of distilled water.
How to Use - POWDER
- Moisten the end of the cutting before dipping in the Powder. Tap off excess powder and plant into propagating medium. Medium must be kept moist during the entire period of root formation.
When to Use
- Root promoting substances must be used in conjunction with standard propagating techniques and facilities such as temperature, light conditions and moisture availability
When to Use
- Can be mixed with fungicides in bulk dipping tank.
