About Oxin – Botanical Suspension

The facts about our fast root growth solution.

• Oxin promotes cell division in the cambium which increases growth in the stems and roots of plants. Mainly dicots and gymnosperms.
• Oxin is key in the propagation and cloning of plant sections. Oxin promotes cell division in the tissue culture. Plant tissue culture is a collection of techniques used to maintain or grow plant cells, tissues or organs under sterile conditions on a nutrient culture medium of known composition. It is widely used to produce clones of a plant in a method known as micropropagation.
• Oxin, when applied to the flowers of certain species, has the ability to initiate development of fruit without pollination. The process produces a sterile fruit that lacks seeds. This means that the pollination results in a production of berries that are completely seedless which is known as Parthenocarpy. 
• Oxin has the ability to create Flower intitation in crops that are hard to flower. A single application of Oxin can make the plant flower at just about any time of the year. (Pineapples)
• Oxin can be used to stimulate seed germination. This is advantageous in crops like potatoes.
• Oxin is used to prevent premature leaf fall. Growers of citrus, apples and pears use large amounts of Oxin for the prevention of premature fall of fruits. From a fourth to half of the entire crop may be lost because the fruit falls before it has matured or developed good colour.
• Water is essential in rood development and establishment of crops. Please check out our Water Retainer solutions in Absorber and Okoamaji that work well with Oxin to help your plant reach its milestones.

How Oxin Works?

Oxin is extracted from a family of plant hormones. They are mostly made in the tips of the growing stems and roots, which are known as apical meristems, and can diffuse to other parts of the stems or roots.

Auxins control the growth of plants by promoting cell division and causing elongation in plant cells (the cells get longer). Stems and roots respond differently to high concentrations of auxins.
