Aminooligosaccharins (Chito-oligosaccharides / COS)

Category: Plant Elicitor, Immunomodulator & Bio-Antiviral Agent


Mechanism: It acts as a “plant vaccine.” Its molecular structure mimics fungal cell wall fragments, triggering the plant’s Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR). It stimulates the production of defensive enzymes (chitinase, glucanase) and phytoalexins, while boosting endogenous growth hormones.


Key Uses: Prevents destructive crop viruses, controls stubborn fungal/bacterial diseases (Anthracnose, Powdery Mildew), suppresses root-knot nematodes, and crucially helps crops recover from extreme weather stress (frost, drought) and herbicide injuries.


Eco-Safety: Sourced from natural marine chitin (shrimp/crab shells), it is fully biodegradable, completely non-toxic, and a gold-standard input for certified organic farming.
