Potassium 1-Naphthaleneacetate is a plant growth regulator, pesticide. Potassium 1-Naphthaleneacetate is an active ingredient of K-Salt Fruit Fix 200. K-SALT FRUIT FIX 200 thins the fruit of apples, pears and certain varieties of citrus and olives to provide an adequate return bloom the following season. K-SALT FRUIT FIX 200 controls preharvest drop of apples and pears leading to a larger harvest and a reduction of losses from windfall and knockdown. The in vitro study showed that Potassium 1-Naphthaleneacetate (NAA-K+) might be effective in the control of Fusarium oxysporum. Exogenous application of NAA-K+ affected both spores and mycelium stages of the fungi. NAA-K+ repressed the expression of brlA and fluG genes. Potassium 1-Naphthaleneacetate's registration has being cancelled by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

In Vitro Use Guide

On a first attempt, different concentration of Potassium 1-Naphthaleneacetate (NAA-K+) was added to the medium and, after 24 h of incubation, complete inhibition of microconidia and macroconidia germination of F. oxysporum f. sp. radici-lycopersici and F. oxysporum f. sp. cubense was observed at all NAA-K+ concentrations tested (10, 25, 50 and 100 mM). Since treatment with 10 mM inhibited completely conidial germination, lower NAA-K+ concentrations were proved: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 mM. Complete spore germination inhibition was observed with the addition of 2-10 mM.
