Implementing Organization
Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT)
Project Overview
The fatty alcohol fraction produced from rice bran wax, which is usually called as triacontanol is useful for stimulating growth in a wide variety of plants, including agricultural crops such as corn, soybean, wheat, rice and tomatoes. Formulations are prepared by dissolving the triacontanol in organic solvents and then adding the solution to water with an emulsifying agent.
