What is Alginate oligosaccharide(AOS)?
Definition 1: Brown Alginate oligosaccharide (AOS) is made from brown algae as raw material using directional biolysis technology. It is the most active fragment among brown algae raw materials;
Definition 2: Alginate oligosaccharide (AOS) is a biostimulant that can promote the synthesis of endogenous growth hormones in plants in a short period of time, promote rooting and growth, and improve the nutrient absorption efficiency of crops.
Alginate oligosaccharide(AOS) relationship with alginic acid, seaweed extract and seaweed is as follows:
Mechanism of action of AOS:
AOS is an environmental signaling molecule that activates the basic defense and immune system of plants:
- Stimulate the rapid accumulation of nitric oxide in plants
- Stimulate the accumulation of IAA (indole acetic acid) in plants
- Regulate nitrogen absorption, transport and metabolism
- Promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms
- Stimulate and improve the drought and stress resistance of plants.
In a drought environment, AOS can increase the content of abscisic acid (ABA) in plant cells to more than 5 times the normal level.
In addition, it also has many advantages such as small dosage, safety and efficiency, good mixability, and strong thermal stability. It is an excellent fertilizer synergist;
Alginate oligosaccharide (AOS) can compound with the following fertilizers:
- Nitrogen fertilizer
- Amino acid water-soluble fertilizer
- Humic acid water-soluble fertilizer
- Macroelement water-soluble fertilizer
- Compound fertilizer
- bio organic fertilizer
As a safe, broad-spectrum plant immune modulator, AOS has great potential in the future of green agriculture!
