1.  Introduction of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA):
Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) is a synthetic plant growth regulator belonging to the naphthalene class of compounds.  It is a colorless crystalline solid, soluble in water and organic solvents.  Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) is widely used in the field of plant growth regulation, especially playing an important role in the growth and development of fruit trees, vegetables and flowers.

2.  Characteristics of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA):

- Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) is a powerful plant growth regulator that promotes plant growth and development.
- Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) can regulate plant growth and development through absorption and transport in plant tissues such as roots, stems and leaves.
- The mechanism of action of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) is to affect plant growth and development by regulating the synthesis and metabolism of plant hormones.

3.  The function of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA):

- Promote root development: Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) can promote the growth and development of the root system, increase the number of root branches and root hairs, thereby enhancing the plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients.
- Promote fruit expansion: During the growth process of fruit trees and vegetables, Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) can promote fruit expansion and increase fruit production and quality.

- Promote flower bud differentiation: Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) can promote the differentiation and flowering process of flower buds and improve the ornamental value of flowers.
- Increase fruit uniformity: Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) can regulate the development speed of fruit, make the fruit mature evenly, and increase the commercial value of the fruit.

4. How to use Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA):

- Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) seed soaking treatment: Soak the seeds in a solution containing an appropriate amount of naphthalene acetic acid to promote seed germination and root growth.
- Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) foliar spraying: Spray an appropriate amount of naphthalene acetic acid solution on the leaves of plants to promote plant growth and fruit development.
- Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) root watering: Watering an appropriate amount of naphthalene acetic acid solution on the roots of plants to promote the growth and development of the root system.

5. Precautions for Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA):
- Dosage control: When using Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), pay attention to dose control to avoid excessive use, which may cause abnormal plant growth or produce negative effects.
- Timing of use: The timing of using Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) should be determine according to different plants and application purposes. Select the appropriate growth stage for fertilization to obtain the best effect.
- Storage and Safety: Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) should be storein a dry, cool place, away from fire and children. Pay attention to safety during use and avoid contact with skin and eyes.

6. Summary of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA):
Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) is an important plant growth regulator that can promote plant growth and development, especially in root development, fruit enlargement, flower bud differentiation and fruit uniformity. When using Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), should be  pay attention to dosage control, timing of use, and storage safety. Through the rational use of Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA), the yield and quality of plants can be improve and the sustainable development of agriculture can be promote.
