Resistant to light degradation when packaged in light-proof containers, maintaining efficacy over time
Key Physicochemical Advantages of Indole-3-acetic acid Potassium salt IAA-K: Compared to free IAA, the potassium salt form of IAA-K offers significantly improved water solubility (over 150 times higher than free IAA in cold water), simplifying the preparation of liquid formulations such as soluble concentrates (SL) and wettable powders (WP). The neutral pH range avoids phytotoxicity that may occur with acidic or alkaline PGRs, enabling safe mixing with pesticides, fertilizers, and other growth regulators. Additionally, the low moisture content and high purity reduce the risk of formulation defects, ensuring consistent performance in agricultural applications.
