Product Description

Auxin Plant Hormone 4cpa 4-cpa 98% TC

4-Chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA) is used as a plant growth regulator. It is absorbed by plants via roots, stems, leaves, blooms, and fruit. It is widely used on tomatoes to prevent the abscission of blooms and fruit.

Solubility: Sparingly soluble in water. Readily soluble in most organic solvents. 4-CPA sodium salt is soluble in water.

Stability: Stable at elevated temperatures (54 ºC) and on exposure to metals, but degrades (30% loss in 24 hours) on exposure to sunlight.

Toxicity Data:

  • Acute oral LD50 for rats: 2200mg/kg
  • Acute dermal LD50 for rats: >2200mg/kg
  • Irritation: Potential irritation to skin and eyes.
  • Fish Toxicity: LC50 for carp 3-6ppm, water flea >40ppm.

Product Application

Primary Uses:

  1. Prevent abscission of bloom and fruit, inhibit rooting of beans, and promote fruit set.
  2. Induce formation of seedless fruit.
  3. Used for ripening and fruit thinning.
  4. Performs better when used in combination with 0.1% monopotassium phosphate.

Target Crops & Dosage:

  • Tomato: Soak flowers in 10-20ppm when 2-3 flowers blossom. Repeat 3 times every 7-10 days.
  • Melon Group (Pumpkin/Cucumber): Soak or spray flowers in 20-25ppm.
  • Pepper: 10-15ppm dosage.
  • Fruit Trees (Apple/Longan): 25-30 ppm during inflorescence.
