1-Naphthaleneacetic acid potassium salt (Cat No.:M059251) is a synthetic plant growth regulator belonging to the auxin family. It functions by mimicking natural auxins, stimulating cell division, elongation, and differentiation. Widely applied in agricultural and horticultural research, NAA-K promotes root initiation, enhances fruit set, prevents premature fruit drop, and supports tissue culture studies. The potassium salt form offers greater solubility and ease of application compared to the free acid. 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid potassium salt is an essential tool for studying plant developmental biology and improving crop propagation techniques.
