6-Benzyladenine (6-BA) Plant Growth Regulator

Número CAS: 1214-39-7

6-Benzyladenine (6-BA) is a synthetic first-generation cytokinin that promotes cell division, stimulates lateral bud break, and facilitates fruit thinning in apple and pear orchards at 1–10 ppm. In greenhouse vegetable production it enhances the growth of cucumber, lettuce, and leafy vegetables and is an essential component of plant tissue culture media for shoot induction and proliferation. Supplied as 98% technical grade powder.

Aplicaciones

  • Apple and pear chemical thinning at 1–10 ppm for improved fruit size and quality
  • Greenhouse cucumber and melon growth promotion and lateral shoot stimulation
  • Lettuce and leafy vegetable production to increase leaf area and fresh weight
  • Plant tissue culture media for shoot organogenesis and micropropagation
  • Delay of post-harvest yellowing in vegetables and cut flowers

Características Principales

  • 6-BA at 98% purity enables precise formulation of cytokinin-based PGR products at defined concentrations
  • Proven efficacy in apple and pear thinning reduces manual labor costs and improves pack-out grade
  • Indispensable in plant tissue culture as the standard cytokinin for shoot induction across 100+ crop species
  • Low application rates (1–10 ppm) result in minimal residue and favorable regulatory profile in registered markets
