Applied Plant Propagation Methods and Technology

For growers, scientists, and anyone else, this article provides the science-based means needed to replace outdated, harsh solvent dips. The key to successful propagation is to use aqueous Hortus IBA Water Soluble Salts rooting hormone solutions.

By understanding the described basic plant physiology, you will know how plants absorb, transport, and process rooting hormones. You will learn how to use these solutions through modern foliar (leaf) and basal (stem) methods. These methods significantly reduce your labor costs, eliminate the risk of disease cross-contamination, and consistently produce uniform, high-quality crops at a cost-effective price.
