A plant growth hormone naturally belongs to the auxins family, present in peas, maize and tissues of carrots. Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) undoubtedly has many commercial and agricultural benefits [3].
Introduction
Structure
The unique structure of Indole-3-butyric acid is displayed underneath [1].
Figure 1: Structure of Indole-3-butyric acid [1].
Procedure
Indole-3-butyric acid naturally occurs in the peelings of cultivated potatoes, cypress, maize, and tobacco plant. It is assuredly an endogenous component in various plant tissues. Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) Solution naturally comes from the Arabidopsis (tiny flowering plants) [4]. The standard procedure for the possible preparation of indole-3-butyric acid is described below in considerable detail.

Hazards and Safety
The potential hazards and safety measures are described below [9] [10].
Eye Contact:
It can typically cause serious eye damage, considerable irritation, and possible infection. It can typically cause temporary injury to the eyes.
First Aid Measure:
In the specific cases of direct contact with eyes, immediately wash the eyes with plenty of distilled water. Hold the eyelids open and cleanse the face of the victim repeatedly for 15-20 minutes. In case of severe irritation or redness, adequately consult medical advice as soon as possible.
Skin Contact:
Graciously according to hazard statements, it can also cause skin corrosion, evident irritation, and mild rashes.
First Aid Measure:
In case of physical contact of the odorless powder with the intact skin of specific body parts, immediately wash the skin or specific body parts with excess water. Carefully remove the contaminated clothes immediately and properly wash them. The washed clothes can be reused. You can employ neutral soaps to progressively reduce the irritation caused by IBA. In case of severe infection, properly consult medical advice.
Respiratory Tract Infections:
According to the hazard statement, if accidentally inspired it can cause difficulty in breathing and irritation in respiratory membranes. Do not breathe dust, mist, or noxious vapors of indole-3-butyric acid.
First Aid Measure:
In case of inhalation of IBA powder, offer water to the identified victim and typically seek medical advice.
Ingestion:
According to the hazard statement, if mistakenly ingested it can cause nausea, vomiting, and a headache.
First Aid Measure:
If it is consumed mistakenly, immediately arrange some milk for the victim. If not available, then you can equally give him egg white or gelatin solution. If these things are unavailable, then give plenty of water to the victim for drinking. In such situations avoid drinking alcoholic beverages or alcohol.
Ventilated Places:
It is necessary to use well-ventilated places for the experimentation procedures.
Protection:
Use safety goggles, sterile gloves, and protective clothes like a lab coat. Properly use practical things that efficiently are chemical resistant for possible protection.
