As a result, this substance also helps with rooting cuttings. It also influences the ratio of male and female flowers on a plant, promotes fruit set, produces larger leaves and can cause some biennial plants to flower in the first year. Furthermore, it stimulates the cells of germinating seeds (to form mRNA coding for hydrolytic enzymes) and in some dormant seeds, the addition of gibberellic acid can break dormancy. Gibberellic acid ensures the production of alpha-amylase, so that the germ can convert its starch into glucose.\u003cbr\u003eIt is one of the simplest gibberellins. It was first described in Japan in 1935 as a metabolic byproduct of Gibberella fujikuroi, a parasitic fungus. Gibberellic acid is sometimes used in laboratories and greenhouses to help seeds that would otherwise not grow to germinate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShortened malting process\u003cbr\u003eGibberellic acid is used industrially in the malting industry because it shortens the malting process (the germination of barley), which was discovered by the Scottish professor of biochemistry and brewing, Anna MacGillivray Macleod, at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh. For this, she was awarded an honorary doctorate from that university in 1993.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote, our pills contain 10% pure active ingredient.

The dosage should be between 200 and 500 ppm=ml\/l. For this, dissolve 1 tablet in 2-5 liters of water. Fold the seeds in a paper towel. Place this in a tray with the gibberellic acid solution. Leave this for 24 hours at room temperature. After this, the seeds can be sown in the usual way. It is wise to start with the lowest dosage (1 tablet in 5 liters of water). Too high a dosage can result in seedlings growing too quickly and sparsely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vreeken","offers":[{"title":"1 tablet","offer_id":44177477828661,"sku":"809080","price":12.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/9092\/3573\/files\/809080.jpg?v=1750790745","url":"https:\/\/www.vreeken.nl\/en\/products\/809080","provider":"Vreeken's Zaden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
