Chitosan Pesticides Grade
Product Name: Chitosan
CAS NO.: 9012-76-4
EC NO.: 618-480-0
Chemical Formula: (C6H11NO4)n
Overview
Chitosan Pesticides Grade is a high-quality, biopolymer derived from the deacetylation of chitin, primarily sourced from crustacean shells. It is a natural, biodegradable, and eco-friendly polymer widely used in agriculture for its remarkable biostimulant, antifungal, and plant protection properties. This grade of chitosan is specifically tailored for pesticide and crop protection applications, ensuring optimal solubility, activity, and safety for plants and the environment.
Key Features
- Biodegradable and Eco-Friendly: Fully degradable in the environment, leaving no harmful residues, ideal for sustainable agriculture.
- Plant Defense Activation: Stimulates plants’ natural defense mechanisms against fungal, bacterial, and viral pathogens.
- Enhanced Pesticide Efficiency: Improves adhesion, spread, and uptake of conventional pesticides, reducing required dosage.
- Biostimulant Properties: Promotes seed germination, root development, and overall plant growth.
- Safe and Non-Toxic: Non-harmful to humans, animals, and beneficial insects; compliant with organic farming standards.
