Biological activity | 2-Naphthoxyacid acid is an endogenous metabolite. |
use | naphthoxyacetic acid (BNOA) is a plant growth regulator with auxin biological activity of naphthalene, which is absorbed by leaves and roots. It can promote fruit setting, stimulate fruit expansion, and overcome hollow fruit; used with rooting agent, it can also promote plant rooting. Used as plant growth stimulating hormone, used to increase the fruit setting rate and regulate growth of pineapples, strawberries, and tomatoes |
