About Alpha Napthyl Acetic Acid 4.5% SL
Alpha Napthyl Acetic Acid 4.5% SL
Alpha Naphthyl Acetic Acid (NAA) 4.5% SL is a plant growth regulator (PGR) that enhances crop yield and quality by preventing premature flower and fruit drop, stimulating root development, enlarging fruit size, and promoting uniform growth. Key benefits include reducing pre-harvest berry drop in grapes, preventing natural shedding in cotton (squares/bolls) and mangoes, improving nutrient uptake, and supporting overall plant vigor for better productivity.
- Reduces Fruit & Flower Drop: Prevents the natural shedding of buds, flowers, and unripe fruits by suppressing ethylene gas, ensuring more produce reaches maturity.
- Increases Yield & Quality: Leads to larger fruit size (like in grapes, pineapples) and better overall crop quality and quantity.
- Boosts Root Growth: Stimulates stronger and more extensive root development, improving nutrient and water absorption.
- Enhances Plant Vigor: Promotes healthier, more vigorous plants with consistent growth.
- Versatile Application: Works on various crops, including cotton, tomatoes, chilies, mangoes, grapes, and pineapples.
- It's a plant hormone (auxin) that regulates cell division and growth.
- It prevents the formation of the abscission layer (which causes shedding) by inhibiting ethylene gas production.
