Application of chitosan in agriculture

General information

Chitosan is derived from chitin which is widely found in nature,such as arthropods(shrimp and crab).
The chitin is deacetylated by adding alkali and heating. 
In agriculture, chitosan is used as feed additive,plant pathogen antibacterial agent and plantseed surface covering agent, etc.










Specification of Chitosan







Advantages


  • Control insects and help crop resist diseases.
  • Decompose trace metal elements in the soil.
  • Enhance plant immunity and promote plant health.
  • Improve yield and quality.
  • Compatible with most pesticides and fertilizers.


What’s features of Dora Chitosan？


1.High antimicrobial activity

One of the most important proprieties of chitosan is its high antimicrobial activity against a wide variety of microorganisms such as fungi,bacteria and virues.
The inhibition was observed at different pathogen development stages such as mycelial growth, sporulation, spore viability and germination,and on the production of fungal virulence factors.

2.Induce plant resistance

Chitosan at low molecular weight acts as a powerful biotic elicitor,
It’s able to induce plant defence responses and to activate different pathways that increase the crop resistance to diseases.By activating a plant’s immune system which prevent pathogen invasion and bad external environment.

3.Used on Seed treatment

Chitosan has the high molecular weight,it confers to chitosan biopolymer characteristics, so that it can be used as film,forming physical barriers around the seeds preventing the pathogen infection.
Besides,chitosan has the ability of high antimicrobial activity and eliciting plant resistance,so it has widely used on  seed treatment.

Best Guide of Common Plant Disease in Garden

图片
For home gardeners, nothing is more frustrating than seeing their work destroyed by pests and diseases. The disease occurs when environmental conditions are suitable for the growth of pathogens on susceptible hosts. Some pathogens attack a variety of plants, while others attack only specific plants. In addition, some pathogens can attack all parts of the plant, while others attack only selected tissues. Many types of organisms cause plant infections , but the top five types of plant pathogens are fungi, water molds, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes. Adverse environmental conditions may also lead to non-infectious diseases of plants, called diseases. Adverse conditions include inappropriate soil pH, nutrient deficiency and toxicity, soil compaction, excessive water content, and herbicide destruction. Plants weakened by adverse conditions may be more vulnerable to pathogens. The following is a brief introduction of several common plant diseases, symptoms and solutions, I hop...

Best Guide- Details to Trimming Cannabis

图片
Trimming is among the most reliable means to adjust and guide the growth of a cannabis plant. If you're seeking to limit the dimension of your plant, promote side branching, delay the onset of flowering, or increase yield, trimming checks all packages. It may feel counterproductive to trim parts of your plant as it expands. However, by pruning ineffective development, you can reroute the plant's energy as well as sources into establishing high-quality flowers. While trimming is sensibly straightforward, it's likewise an ability that comes to be polished and less complicated with the method. These pruning pointers and also tricks should assist in demystifying the procedure. Why do you trim marijuana? Pruning refers to the process whereby tiny, certain sections of the plant are cut to motivate healthy growth. At its most basic level, trimming eliminates development that is harmed, ineffective, or blocking sunshine from reaching budding flowers. Pruning describes the procedure...
