Indole-3-butyric acid potassium salt is primarily used as a rooting hormone to enhance adventitious root formation in plant cuttings, improving propagation success rates. It is also applied in tissue culture media to promote callus growth and organogenesis. Researchers leverage its auxin-like activity to study plant developmental processes, including cell elongation and differentiation. In commercial horticulture, it is formulated into rooting powders or solutions for crops like tomatoes, roses, and ornamental plants.
