1-naphthylacetamide
Last updated: 17/07/2024
(Also known as: 1-NAD; alpha-naphthylacetamide; alpha-NAA amide)

SUMMARY
1-naphthylacetamide is a synthetic auxin plant growth regulator used to increase fruit yield, increase fruit thinning and for striking cuttings. It is moderately soluble in water, has a low volatility and tends not to be persistent in soil or aquatic systems. The risk of leaching to groundwater is low. It has a low to moderate toxicity to biodiversity. 1-naphthylacetamide has a moderate oral toxicity to mammals and is a reproduction/developmental toxin.
