Indole-3-Butyric Acid (IBA):
Your Go-To for Strong Plant Rooting
Why Choose Our IBA?
Our factory has 29 years of experience making plant growth regulators—so we know how to craft IBA that works. Every batch is checked strictly, from raw materials to finished products, ensuring our IBA has high purity (over 98%), stable quality, and top-tier rooting activity. For South American farmers and gardeners, this means reliable results, whether you’re growing crops, fruits, or flowers.
The Star Function: Supercharging Root Growth
Indole 3 Butyric Acid 98%TC IBA is famous for one key job: making plants grow strong, healthy roots fast. Here’s how it works: It stimulates the cells in a plant’s “root-growing zones” (called meristems) to divide and turn into new roots. This isn’t just about more roots—it’s about roots that absorb water and nutrients better, helping plants survive stress (like drought) and grow faster.
For South American growers, this is a game-changer. Many local plants (like fruit trees or tropical flowers) can be hard to propagate from cuttings— but IBA fixes that. It cuts down rooting time, boosts how many cuttings actually grow roots, and makes those roots thicker and more durable.
Top 4 IBA Use Scenarios in South America
We’ve tailored these uses to match what South American growers need most—from family gardens to large farms.
1. Indole 3 Butyric Acid 98%TC IBA used on Fruit Tree Cuttings (Mango, Avocado, Citrus)
Mango, avocado, and citrus trees are staples in South America—but starting them from cuttings can be tricky. Dip the bottom 2–3 cm of a fresh cutting (from a healthy tree) in a 1000–2000 ppm IBA solution for 5–10 seconds. Plant it in moist soil, and you’ll see roots in 3–4 weeks (instead of 6–8 weeks without IBA). This works for small backyard orchards in Brazil or large citrus farms in Argentina.
2. Indole 3 Butyric Acid 98%TC IBA used on Flower Propagation (Roses, Orchids, Bromeliads)
Roses (popular in Colombian flower farms) and bromeliads (native to the Amazon) often struggle to root from cuttings. For roses: Mix IBA powder with talc (1:10 ratio) and dust the cutting’s base before planting. For orchids: Soak the “pseudobulb” (the thick stem) in a 500 ppm IBA solution for 15 minutes—this helps new roots grow from the bulb, so orchids thrive in pots or greenhouses.
3. Indole 3 Butyric Acid 98%TC IBA used on Vegetable Seedlings (Tomatoes, Bell Peppers, Eggplants)
Tomatoes and bell peppers are grown across South America, from Peru to Venezuela. When transplanting seedlings (to move them from trays to the field), dip the root ball in a weak IBA solution (200–300 ppm) for 2 minutes. This helps the seedlings regrow roots fast after transplanting—so they don’t wilt, and start producing fruit earlier.
4. Indole 3 Butyric Acid 98%TC IBA used on Coffee and Cocoa Propagation
Coffee (Colombia, Brazil) and cocoa (Ecuador, Peru) are key cash crops. For coffee cuttings: Soak the base in a 1500 ppm IBA solution for 8 hours, then plant in shaded soil. For cocoa: Treat young stem cuttings with a 1200 ppm IBA spray—this encourages lateral roots (small roots that spread wide), so the plants absorb more nutrients from the soil, leading to better bean yields.
Quick Tips for Use
- Don’t mix with alkaline products (like lime)—breaks down in alkaline conditions.
- Store in a cool, dark place (away from sunlight) to keep it active.
- Start with a lower concentration—you can adjust based on your plant type!
Our IBA is made to fit South American growing needs—strong, simple, and effective. Whether you’re a small-scale gardener or a large farmer, it’s the easiest way to get plants with roots that last.
