Zeatin
Also known as: ZT, trans-Zeatin, 6-(4-Hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enylamino)purine
Zeatin is a highly potent natural cytokinin that promotes robust plant growth by stimulating rapid cell division, shoot initiation, and lateral bud development. Additionally, it effectively delays leaf senescence (aging) and enhances chlorophyll retention, ensuring crops remain vibrant and productive for longer.

Key benefits
- Stimulates Cell Division As a potent natural cytokinin, it strongly induces cell division and differentiation to accelerate sprouting and lateral bud development.
- Delays Leaf Senescence It effectively prevents chlorophyll degradation, keeping leaves green longer to extend the duration of photosynthesis.
- Boosts Yield & Resilience It optimizes plant hormone balance and nutrient transport to improve fruit set, increase yield, and enhance stress resistance.
Suggested dosage & application
- For Formulators & Manufacturers As a 90% concentration, this highly active ingredient must be formulated before broad field application. Solubility: Poorly soluble in cold water. Dissolves easily in dilute acids, alkalis, or ethanol; typically formulated into 0.01% to 0.1% SL or SP. Formulation Note: Highly stable at neutral pH. Pairs exceptionally well with fulvic acid or amino acid matrices for premium biostimulant lines. Synergistic Blends: Co-formulate with low doses of Auxins (IBA/NAA) to balance rapid root initiation with strong shoot development.
- Reference Field Application Rates Due to its ultra-high natural biological activity, the field application dosage is extremely low, ranging from 0.1 to 1 mg/L (ppm). Seedling Vigor: Spray or drench at 0.1 to 0.2 mg/L to eliminate transplant shock and accelerate root branching. Flowering & Fruit Set: Spray at 0.5 to 1 mg/L during budding and full bloom to enhance pollination and prevent fruit drop. Stress Resistance: Apply 0.2 to 0.5 mg/L before or after weather extremes (frost, drought) to preserve chlorophyll and speed up recovery. Optimal Efficiency: Apply as a uniform fine mist. Even coverage ensures maximum performance from this premium molecule.
