Detail
Cloprop (also known as 3-CPA or 2-(3-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid) is primarily used in agriculture as a plant growth regulator. It exhibits auxin-like activity, with its core functions being the promotion of fruit set and the enlargement of fruit. As a phenoxy acid compound, it is also noted in some literature to possess herbicidal properties.
Mechanism of Action: Acting as an auxin-like substance, it functions as a broad-spectrum plant growth regulator. It features strong permeability and good systemic activity, allowing it to be absorbed and translocated within the plant, where it regulates the balance of endogenous hormones and the distribution of nutrients.
