A process for the production of growth hormone foliar spray

Abstract

The Naphthylacetic acid is the main constitute of growth hormone foliar spray foliar spray in minute quantities controls the physiology of the plants similar to naturally occurring hormones, retards early shading of leaves, flowers and unripe fruits, thus increasing the yield of crops. The Naphthylacetic acid is an active constituent in foliar spray and is particularly effective for all cash crops including Cotton, Rice, Wheat, Maize, Fruits and vegetables. The spray is prepared by dissolving Naphthylacetic acid in sodium hydroxide solution, adding water and then filter the solution, adjusting the pH at 5.6-5.9 and adding solution of potassium sulphate, solution of urea, tepol and diluting the solution so that the concentration of Naphthylacetic acid should be 4.5%.
