JWWC said:BAP is 6-Benzylaminopurine. You asked!
It's a member of a family of naturally occurring plant hormones that can cause plants to readily grow. If you, for example, apply it to the cut when dividing fans, it will coax additional fans through new growing points. It can also be used on the bracts of a scape to induce proliferations. There are some who have found or believe that when BAP is applied to plants the new plants will not bloom or set seed for a while. This has not been my experience in the small amount I have experimented with BAP.
