Tea trees are moisture-loving plants with high water requirements during the growing season and are highly susceptible to drought stress. Alginate Oligosaccharide (AOS) is the depolymerization product of alginate and has the characteristics of low molecular weight, excellent solubility, high biological activity and non-toxicity. Research shows that spraying Alginate Oligosaccharide (AOS) can induce tea trees …

Chitosan is a macromolecular polysaccharide that is insoluble in alkali and water, but soluble in acetic acid, such as acetic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, etc. Chitosan is then enzymatically hydrolyzed to become chitosan oligosaccharide, or low molecular weight chitosan, which is also called aminooligosaccharide in pesticides. The application of chitosan oligosaccharide in agriculture: 1. …
