Lin-MA

Metarhizium is a fungal insecticide, and the active ingredient of Metarhizium is conidia. After the conidia contact and attach to the insect body, the spores first germinate and penetrate the insect body wall.

Then they invade the body, grow and reproduce rapidly in the blood wave of the insect body, seize the nutrients and tissues in the insect body, weaken it, and stop feeding.

In the later stage, the fungus will also secrete toxins, affect the central nervous system of the pest, destroy various organs, dehydrate the tissues, and cause death.

The hyphae of Metarhizium in the dead insect can extend out of the body through the intersegmental membrane and produce conidia. The conidia can continue to infect other pest individuals through contact transmission or wind spread, forming repeated infection in the pest population.

P. mucilaginosus is an important species in the genus Paenibacillus. It is commonly known as silicate bacteria because it can decompose potassium-containing minerals composed of silicates and aluminosilicates and release potassium ions. The silicate bacteria currently mentioned also include Paenibacillus edaphicus and Bacillus circulans.

Studies have found that P. mucilaginosus can also activate phosphorus and other nutrients, and produce organic acids, amino acids, hormones and other substances through its own metabolism to promote plant growth, improve plant nutrition and growth conditions, and produce extracellular polysaccharides, which have the effect of enhancing plant nonspecific immunity. Some strains also have the function of nitrogen fixation. At the same time, this strain can grow and reproduce under different environmental conditions by producing a large amount of capsules and extracellular polysaccharides. Its multifunctionality and strong stress resistance make it the preferred strain of microbial fertilizer in recent years.

According to statistics, microbial fertilizers made from this strain have been used in many regions and on many crops, and have shown multiple effects in agricultural production, such as increasing the content of available potassium and available phosphorus in the soil, promoting crop growth, and increasing crop yield and quality. It is one of the key points and hotspots in the research and development of microbial fertilizers. In addition, it also has broad applications in the fields of mining, metallurgy, and feed industry.

Microbial compound agents are generally composed of several bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus colloidus, and Bacillus licheniformis.

They have the functions of improving soil structure, transforming soil nutrients, reducing crop diseases and insect pests, promoting crop growth, and increasing crop yields, and are increasingly valued by farmers.

Long-term use of microbial compound agents can not only improve soil aggregate structure, balance soil pH, make the soil loose and breathable, promote crop roots to grow deep, and promote crop absorption of water and nutrients, thereby achieving the purpose of increasing production and income, but also compound agents can form dominant bacterial clusters in the soil, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, reduce the use of pesticides, and achieve pollution-free planting.

LIN-AM tiene tanto las características de las raíces de las plantas en general como las características de los hongos obligados. Tiene una amplia gama de aplicaciones y puede formar una relación simbiótica con la mayoría de las plantas.

LIN-AM puede promover la absorción de nutrientes del suelo por los cultivos, promoviendo así el crecimiento de los cultivos, aumentando el rendimiento y mejorando la calidad. También puede mejorar la resistencia de los cultivos a las enfermedades e inhibir la aparición de enfermedades transmitidas por el suelo alrededor de las raíces.

Effects and characteristics:
Inhibit plant growth, make plants dwarfed and compact, and are used for ornamental plant shaping. Increase plant resistance, including resistance to pests and diseases, lodging, and drought. Promote plant flower bud differentiation, improve fruit setting rate and fruit quality.

Precautions:
The concentration and method of using uniconazole should be adjusted according to plant varieties and growth goals (such as dwarfing, flower promotion, etc.). It has a certain residue in the soil, which may affect sensitive crops in the following crops, and reasonable crop rotation is required. Uniconazole cannot be mixed with strong alkaline substances to avoid loss.
