Bacillus mucilaginosus—Increase crop yield and improve crop quality

After Bacillus mucilaginosus powder is applied to the soil, it also produces a variety of physiologically active substances and protein and amino acid substances such as gibberellin, indole acetic acid, cytokinin, etc. during its metabolic process.

Bacillus mucilaginosus can be compared with the same period last year. Increase crop chlorophyll content by 16-18% and significantly enhance crop photosynthesis.

At the same time, “bacteria grow with roots and roots grow strong with bacteria” promotes the development and robust growth of crop root systems, enhances crops’ resistance to cold, drought, disease and stress.

The phenomena of small leaves, yellow leaves and early defoliation are significantly reduced, and the tree vigor is strong but not strong. The fruit surface is vigorous, the fruit surface is clean, the sweetness is improved, and the fruit quality is significantly improved.

Bacillus mucilaginosus–Improve fertilizer efficiency and promote the absorption of phosphorus and potassium

The highly active Bacillus mucilaginosus contained in this product can reproduce and grow in the soil.

Bacillus mucilaginosus can fix nitrogen, dissolve phosphorus and potassium, and release soluble silicon, calcium, sulfur, magnesium, iron, zinc, molybdenum and manganese. and other medium and trace elements, which not only improves soil fertility, but also provides crops with comprehensive nutrients that can be absorbed and utilized, and the utilization rate of chemical fertilizers is significantly improved.

    The role of amino acids in plant growth

    Amino acids provide basic components for protein synthesis.

    Amino acids provide nitrogen sources, carbon sources and energy to plants, improving crop photosynthesis and chlorophyll synthesis.

    Amino acids provide nutrients for rhizosphere microorganisms.

    Amino acids can passivate a variety of heavy metal elements and reduce their toxic side effects.

    After amino acids act on crops, they can improve their resistance to stress, such as low temperature resistance, and can also help restore growth after disasters.

    Amino acids can integrate a variety of medium and trace elements and be absorbed and utilized by plants to provide plants with necessary trace elements.

    Chitosan oligosaccharide (LIN-COS)

    As the deacetylation product of chitin, chitosan is an important component of fungal cell walls and the main component of the shell of crustaceans.

    Since the 1980s, chitosan has been considered as a plant immune inducer with great potential, but its poor water resistance limits its further application.

    As a degradation product of chitosan, chitosan oligos (LIN-COS) has received more attention and application in the field of plant protection due to its good water solubility and obvious effect in inducing plant immunity.

    LIN-COS can induce disease resistance in crops such as tomatoes, wheat, strawberries, rapeseed and tobacco, and has very significant control effects on rice blast, sheath blight mosaic, powdery mildew and other diseases.

    In addition,LIN-COS also has the effects of significantly promoting growth, increasing production, improving the quality of agricultural products, preserving fruits and vegetables, and resisting cold and drought.

    Chitosan oligosaccharide

    Chitosan oligosaccharide, also called amino oligosaccharide, chitosan oligosaccharide, and chitosan oligosaccharide, is a polymer with a degree of polymerization between 2-10 obtained by degrading chitosan through biological enzymatic hydrolysis technology. Oligosaccharide products, molecular weight ≤3000Da, low molecular weight products with good water solubility, great functions and high biological activity. It is completely soluble in water and has many unique functions such as being easily absorbed and utilized by living organisms. Chitosan oligosaccharide is the only positively charged cationic alkaline amino oligosaccharide in nature. It is animal cellulose and is known as the “sixth element of life”. Therefore, chitosan oligosaccharide itself is a mixture, which contains monosaccharides all the way to chitosanose. Each sugar has its own certain functionality.

    Chitosan

    Chitosan, also known as soluble chitin, chitin, and chitosan, its chemical name is polyglucosamine (1-4)-2-amino-B-D glucose, which is made from chitin through deacetylation. What is obtained is a natural biopolymer.

    Generally speaking, if more than 55% of the N-acetyl group is removed, it can be called chitosan. Chitosan is already soluble in dilute acid, a step further than chitin. However, chitin and chitosan are both macromolecules, with molecular weights ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions, and are not soluble in water.

    Chitin is deacetylated to obtain chitosan, which is further degraded to become chitosan oligosaccharide.

    Chitin

    Chitin, also known as chitin, chitin, and chitin. It is extracted from chitin-containing substances such as shrimp shells and crab shells.

    It is a white translucent solid. Insoluble in water, ethanol and ether. It is a nitrogen-containing polysaccharide composed of N-acetyl α-amino-D-glucosamine linked by β(1→4) glycosidic bonds.

    Soluble in concentrated mineral acids and anhydrous formic acid. It is hydrolyzed in concentrated acid or alkali to form α-glucosamine. Chitin is chemically treated to remove the acetyl group and becomes chitosan.

    Isothiocyanates

    Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are a kind of compounds which contain the structure of R-N=C=S, and they are mainly derived from the cruciferous plant and its near-edge plant. China is the big production country of cruciferous plant, and the development of the national economy will be promoted by the application of the deep development of isothiocyanates. Isothiocyanates are usually used as flavoring agents, and also widely used in food, medical and agricultural fields because of their antibacterial property, antioxidant activity, anticancer ability and insecticidal property. In this article, the methods of purification and analysis of isothiocyanates were reviewed, and the application status of isothiocyanates was described, which can provide theoretical basis for further development of isothiocyanates.

    Effect Trial of Soil Disinfection by 20% Isothiocyanate for Strawberry in Greenhouse


    A new biological fumigation agent of 20% Isothiocyanate AS was studied for the effect of soil disinfection on greenhouse strawberry using drip irrigation system. The results showed that 20% Isothiocyanate AS showed significant control efficacies against bacterium and fungi (including Fusarium, Pythium, Aspergillus, Penicillium, etc. ). Its control effect against Fusarium could reach 100 % , but against actinomycetes it had not distinct effect. After soil disinfection by Isothiocyanate AS in greenhouse, the survival rate of strawberry increased significantly during the whole growing period. Isothiocyanate can be applied to strawberry cultivation.

    Arbuscular Mycorrhizal

    The evolution of mycorrhizal symbiosis is thought to be an important pathway that enabled the development of land plants 400 million years ago.

    Arbuscular Mycorrhiza, AM fungi are symbiotic with 80% of terrestrial plants, helping plants to obtain long-distance water and nutrients and promoting plants to adapt to environmental changes. Arbuscular Mycorrhiza extends extra-root hyphae from the plant root system, expanding the nutrient absorption area of the host plant. However, plants interact with many microorganisms in addition to Arbuscular Mycorrhiza fungi, and plants cultivate and shape the microbiome for their own benefit by secreting microbial stimulatory and inhibitory compounds. Therefore, the rhizosphere, that is, the soil region surrounding the roots, affected by these exudates, often constitutes a dense microbial community selectively assembled by the plant that is distinct from the surrounding non-rhizosphere soil. Similar to plants, Arbuscular Mycorrhiza fungi have also been shown to interact with the microorganisms around them. Interactions between Arbuscular Mycorrhiza fungi and bacteria not only have an impact on the bacterial community but can also greatly affect the performance of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza fungi.

    Excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in conventional farming results in pollution and reduced biodiversity, whereas organic farming avoids these practices and promotes soil biodiversity, of which mycorrhizal fungi are considered key taxa.
