  • Applications

    Potassium gibberellate (CAS 125-67-7) is the potassium salt of gibberellic acid used as a plant growth regulator in agriculture and horticulture to promote seed germination and break seed dormancy, support vegetative elongation, and enhance flowering, fruit set, and fruit size in a range of crops. It is applied as a foliar spray or seed/seedling treatment and is also used in ornamental production to improve bloom characteristics and uniformity. In research contexts, it serves as a gibberellin-related reagent for studying signaling pathways and plant growth responses.
