Description

2-Bromophenoxyacetic acid (2BPAA) is a plant growth regulator that belongs to the group of phenoxy compounds. It is an inhibitor of auxin biosynthesis and its application can result in stunted growth, decreased root formation, and suppression of lateral branching. 2BPAA also has synergistic effects with phthalic acid and inhibits the growth of plants infected with virus or bacteria. 2BPAA may be useful for the treatment of sweet potato weevils, which are pests that feed on the roots of sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are grown primarily in East Asia, Africa, and Central America. The macroscopic characteristics of sweet potatoes include a dark brown skin, white flesh, and red eyes.
2BPAA is used to treat planthoppers by interfering with their metamorphosis process. Planthoppers are insects that have wings but cannot fly because they lack a fully developed flight muscle system. Planthoppers feed on leaves and other parts of plants by
