MedKoo Cat#: 145960 | Name: Fonsecin

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Fonsecin is a plant growth regulator used primarily to improve crop yields and quality by promoting stronger, healthier plant development. It works by enhancing the activity of plant hormones like auxins and cytokinins, which play a key role in cell division, root growth, and overall plant vigor. This mechanism leads to increased resistance to environmental stresses such as drought and disease, as well as improved nutrient uptake. Fonsecin is commonly applied in agriculture to optimize the growth of crops like vegetables, fruits, and cereals, boosting productivity and crop resilience.
