Functions of Chitosan oligosaccharide

Chitosan oligosaccharide has wide adaptability to plants, good affinity, non-toxic and no side effects, harmless to humans and animals, biodegradable, does not compact the soil in the soil, can be slowly degraded into small molecular carbohydrates, is harmless to the environment, and is an excellent pure natural ecological preparation.

Promote root growth
Chitosan oligosaccharide can promote the early germination of plant seeds. The root system is well developed, and the number of root hairs, fibrous roots, and secondary roots is greatly increased. The root is the foundation of the plant. The well-developed rhizosphere will enhance the plant’s ability to absorb fertilizer and water, enhance drought resistance, lodging resistance, and immunity, and achieve the purpose of being strong and fruitful.

Activate the rhizosphere state
Chitosan oligosaccharide can fully activate the rhizosphere state, dissolve nutrient molecules, and quickly form soil solution, so that nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients can be fully and effectively absorbed by the plant. Protect the environment and benefit human health. Chitosan oligosaccharide is mixed with cellulose to make a film, which can greatly increase the mechanical strength of the film. Taking advantage of the easy film-forming properties of chitosan oligosaccharide, it can be used as a seed coating material.

Enhance immunity
Chitosan oligosaccharide is known as “plant vaccine” in South Korea and Japan, which shows its role in plants. Chitosan oligosaccharide preparations can enhance the antibacterial and antiviral ability of plants, change the growth mechanism of plants, and enhance the immune function of the regulatory system, thereby ensuring the normal growth and development of plants. Some farmers use Chitosan oligosaccharide to mix seeds, which can reduce the incidence and disease index of soybean root rot, with a prevention effect of 42.6%.

Shrink and thicken
Studies have found thatChitosan oligosaccharide has the function of regulating plant development. Chitosan oligosaccharide is a natural plant growth regulator that can promote rooting and stem growth, shorten stems, and make them strong and vigorous, which is conducive to maximizing the supply of nutrients to fruits. Among them, trace elements are easily absorbed by fruits under the (chelate) of chitin, thereby increasing the content of protein and amino acids and fundamentally improving the quality.

Strong bactericidal ability
Chitosan oligosaccharide can replace seed coating agents to protect the normal development of seeds. Used for seed storage, it can reduce seed processing procedures and is economical. Studies have shown that Chitosan oligosaccharide and their degradation products have a strong bactericidal effect on soil and seeds, and can strongly inhibit harmful fungal hyphae such as downy mildew and cyst fungi.

Improve soil
Using Chitosan oligosaccharide as additives can increase the number of beneficial bacteria in the soil such as actinomycetes by 1,000 times, significantly reduce harmful bacteria such as Fusarium and nematodes, enhance the soil’s ability to provide fertilizer, fundamentally improve the soil, cure the hardening, increase the content of soil organic matter, and facilitate continuous cropping.

Improve quality and increase yield
Chitosan oligosaccharide can increase yield, improve crop quality, restore its natural flavor, and be resistant to storage and transportation. At the same time, it can reduce pesticide residues (below national standards) and can be exported through the green channel.

Improve fertilizer efficiency
Chitosan oligosaccharide have the characteristics of viscous solution and easy film formation. Its strong film-forming function can delay the release of fertilizer elements, reduce nutrient loss and greatly improve fertilizer efficiency, which can fundamentally solve the waste of fertilizers and save money.
