Overview

Abscisic Acid (ABA) is a natural plant hormone used to regulate growth and improve plant resistance to environmental stress. Suitable for agriculture, horticulture, and research applications.

Product description

Abscisic Acid (ABA) is a fundamental plant hormone, often referred to as the stress hormone, that acts as a primary chemical messenger for survival. It regulates critical stages of a plant’s life cycle—from seed dormancy to environmental adaptation—ensuring the plant can withstand harsh external conditions.

ABA is a staple in agricultural research and commercial farming due to its ability to strengthen crop resilience. Its primary roles include stress management, where it triggers the closure of stomata to prevent water loss during droughts; growth regulation, which ensures plants focus energy on survival during winter or dry seasons; and seed development, where it maintains dormancy to prevent premature germination.

The application of ABA varies depending on the specific needs of the plant. For wheat and rice, it improves tolerance to soil salinity and drought, protecting grain yield. In grapes, it promotes uniform fruit coloring and can accelerate the ripening process. For mangoes, it helps regulate flowering cycles and manages the plant's response to temperature fluctuations.

In modern horticulture and agriculture, ABA is a vital tool for resilience. By enhancing a plant's natural defenses against salinity, extreme temperatures, and dehydration, it helps secure food supplies in increasingly unpredictable climates.

Applications

Abscisic Acid (ABA) is an essential plant growth regulator involved in key physiological processes including seed dormancy, stomatal regulation, and stress signaling. It is extensively utilized in agricultural and research applications to study and manage plant responses to abiotic stress conditions.

Industries and related products

Plant Growth Regulator is a highly effective plant growth regulator containing aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG). AVG inhibits the biosynthesis of ethylene in plant tissues, the plant hormone responsible for inducing flowering in pineapples.

Aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) prevents naturally differentiated flowering (NDF), a condition that leads to a disrupted supply of fruit, increased operational costs, and lower returns per acre. Aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) synchronizes harvest, providing growers control over their harvest schedule year-round. Controls naturally differentiated flowering (NDF) in pineapples, synchronizing harvest and allowing pineapple farms to set fruit availability year-round.

Dosage

Dosage: 10–50 ppm (foliar spray); higher concentrations for stress conditions as recommended. Refer Below for more details.

Enhance plant resilience naturally with Abscisic Acid (ABA) — a powerful plant hormone that supports growth regulation and helps plants adapt to environmental stress conditions, ensuring healthier and more robust crops.

Notes

Specific crops (wheat, rice, mango, grapes, etc.) Add tank-mix compatibility and spray schedule

Foliar Spray (Most Common Use)

  • General Crops:
    10 – 50 ppm (parts per million)
  • Stress Management (drought/salinity):
    25 – 100 ppm
  • Horticulture / Fruits:
    20 – 60 ppm

Spray during early morning or evening for best absorption

Soil Application

  • Dosage: 50 – 200 ppm solution
  • Apply near root zone for stress resistance

Seed Treatment

  • Dosage:
    10 – 25 ppm solution
  • Soak seeds for 4–12 hours before sowing

Nursery / Tissue Culture

  • Dosage:
    0.5 – 5 mg/L
  • Used for growth regulation and stress studies

Important Guidelines

 

  • Always dilute in clean water
  • Do a small trial before large-scale use
  • Do not overdose (may inhibit growth excessively)
  • Follow agronomist recommendations for specific crops

Remarks

Abscisic Acid CAS Number: 14375-45-2  

Abscisic Acid is a naturally occurring plant hormone (phytohormone) that plays a crucial role in regulating plant growth, development, and stress responses. It is widely used in plant physiology research, agriculture, and horticulture to study and manage plant adaptation to environmental conditions.
