STRUCTURAL FORMULA
Uses:
6-Benzylaminopurine is a wide spectrum plant growth regulator. 6-BA is the first synthetic cytokines, a class of growth regulator that promotes cell division. When used with gibberellins, fruit's shape can be improved. 6-Benzylaminopurine stimulates the following effects: cell division; lateral bud emergence (apples, oranges); basal shoot formation (roses, orchids); flowering (cyclamen, cacti); fruit set (grapes, oranges, melons). It can inhibit degradation of chlorophyll, nucleic acid and protein; promote delivery of amino acid, inorganic salt and growth regulators to applied positions. It helps plant to keep green and retard aging. It can be used in agriculture, horticulture, for plants at different stages; from germination to harvest. Agrocell 6BA also acts as a thinner when applied shortly after bloom. Compared to other chemical thinners, it reportedly will increase fruit size beyond what would occur during the normal crop-thinning process. The product should be applied in the morning or evening when conditions are best for slow drying.
