CAS Number: 86-87-3
Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NAA) is a synthetic auxin plant growth regulator widely used in commercial horticulture and agriculture to promote rooting of cuttings, prevent pre-harvest fruit drop, and thin fruit in apple and pear orchards. Its stability and cost-effectiveness have made it one of the most commercially important auxin compounds globally. AB Enterprises supplies NAA in technical grade for formulation into rooting powders, liquid concentrates, and spray solutions. The compound is effective at very low concentrations and has been used on hundreds of crop species, making it a foundational product in modern plant growth regulator programs.
