Allowable Limit of auxin



When applying to seeds:
What is the maximum (ie:ppm) of auxin (IBA)
which will inhibit seed germination of such crops such
sensitive crops as lettuce.

We have found that in furrow application of as little as 
1-2 ppm IBA will reduce lettuce germination significantly
and
applications of 1/10 - 1/4 ppm will actually improve growth
of seeds which do germinate.

Is there a general rule?
