The 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) is a contrast agent used to improve the visualization of pathological tissues using X-ray techniques. 2, 3, 5-Triiodobenzoic Acid (syn: TIBA) is used as a plant growth regulator, defoliant, and agricultural herbicide. Several investigators have shown TIBA to be successful in causing the retention of buds, blooms, and pods of soybeans. Virtually no results have been reported on using TIBA to retain the 30 to 40% flower shed that occurs with cotton[1-2].
