6-Benzylaminopurine 2% Liquid (6-BA) Full Application Guide

What Is 6-Benzylaminopurine 2% Liquid

Key Benefits of 6-BA 2% Liquid

• Promotes cell division and shoot growth, helping plants grow robustly
• Stimulates lateral bud formation and branching, increasing plant yield and fullness
• Increases flower quantity and fruit setting rate, reducing fruit drop
• Delays leaf senescence and keeps plants green longer, extending the photosynthesis period
• Enhances drought, salt and temperature stress tolerance, improving plant survival rate
• Improves propagation efficiency in tissue culture, shortening the breeding cycle
• Easy-to-use liquid formula, simple to dilute and apply without complicated operations

Standard Dilution & Application Methods

1. Foliar Spray (Most Common)

2. Soaking & Drenching

3. Tissue Culture

Dosage for Different Crops

• Tomatoes, Peppers: 1:1200 dilution, spray at budding & flowering stages (2 times, 7 days apart)
• Strawberries: 1:1500 dilution, spray once before flowering to increase flower quantity and fruit setting rate
• Grapes, Apples, Citrus: 1:1000 dilution, spray at bud break to promote branching and flower bud differentiation
• Leafy Vegetables (Lettuce, Spinach): 1:1500 dilution, spray at seedling stage to promote seedling growth and increase leaf thickness
• Flowers & Ornamentals: 1:1200 dilution, spray during the seedling stage to promote branching and flowering
• Tissue Culture Plants: Use according to the culture medium formula, adjust concentration based on plant variety

Application Tips & Best Timing

• Best application temperature: 18–28°C, avoid application at temperatures above 30°C or below 15°C
• Apply in early morning (6–8 AM) or late afternoon (17–19 PM) to avoid strong sunlight, which may decompose the active ingredients
• Do not apply on rainy days; if it rains within 6 hours after application, re-spray after the rain stops
• Avoid application during extreme heat, cold or strong wind, which will affect the absorption effect
• Use clean, neutral water (pH 6.0–7.0) for dilution to ensure the stability of the active ingredients

Mixing & Compatibility Rules

• Acidic foliar fertilizers (pH 5.5–6.5)
• Neutral insecticides and fungicides with low phytotoxicity
• Other mild plant growth regulators (NAA, IBA, GA3)

• Strong alkaline pesticides (pH above 7.5), which will decompose the active ingredients of 6-BA
• Copper-based fungicides, which may cause phytotoxicity
• Highly concentrated emulsifiable concentrates (ECs), which may affect the stability of the liquid

Safety & Handling

• Wear gloves, goggles and protective clothing during operation to avoid skin and eye contact
• Avoid inhalation of the liquid mist; if accidentally inhaled, move to a well-ventilated area immediately
• Do not eat, drink or smoke during operation; wash hands thoroughly with soap after operation
• Keep the product away from children, food and feed to avoid accidental ingestion
• Follow local agricultural guidelines and regulations when using and disposing of the product

Storage Guidelines

• Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area with a temperature of 5–25°C
• Keep the container sealed and away from light to avoid direct sunlight and high temperature
• Do not store together with alkaline substances, food, feed or other chemicals
• Shelf life: 2 years under proper storage conditions; do not use expired products
