Agricultural Chitin Chitosan Powder

In the application of agricultural production, agricultural chitin chitosan powders not only make crops grow better and robust, but also has obvious effects in stress resistance and pest resistance.  Numerous studies have shown that agricultural chitin chitosan powders can induce broad-spectrum resistance, enhance the plant’s own defense ability, inhibit the growth of a variety of plant pathogenic microorganisms, and it is non-toxic and can be microbial degradation, and will not pollute the environment. This makes it an important role in agricultural production as a new type of green production.  1. Inducing the production of plant resistance proteins  agricultural chitin chitosan powders and their derivatives can induce plants to produce resistance proteins against pathogens. Many studies have shown that agricultural chitin chitosan powders induce plants to produce chitinase, chitosanase and l-3-glucanase. Chitinase, chitosanase and 1,3-glucanase induced by chitosan oligosaccharides also have synergistic effects with each other, so that the antibacterial effect is more obvious.  2. Induced lignin formation  Lignin is a major component of the secondary cell wall of plant vascular tissue and is itself resistant to microbial degradation. A large number of studies have confirmed that chitosan oligosaccharides and their derivatives can induce plants to lignify around their infected sites, forming a physical barrier, preventing or delaying the growth of pathogenic bacteria and spreading to surrounding normal tissues, enhancing plant disease resistance force.  3. Changing the phenolic metabolism of plants  When people study natural antibodies, it is noted that phenols (tannin, chlorogenic acid, etc.) accumulate in large amounts at the point of infection of plants. Phenols are bactericidal substances and precursors of lignin formation. Therefore, the increase of phenols in plants can not only prevent disease, but also promote the lignification of pathogens, thus enhancing the disease resistance of plants.
