General Information of Agricultural Chitosan
Chitosan polymer is a linear polysaccharide composed of randomly distributed beta -(1→4)- linked D-glucosamine (deacetylated units) and n-acetyl-d-glucosamine (acetylated units). It is made by treating the chitin shells of shrimp and other crustaceans with an alkaline substance, such as sodium hydroxide.
Chitosan polymer has many commercial uses. It can be used in agriculture as a seed treatment and biocide to help plants fight fungal infections.

Raw Material of Agricultural Chitosan
Chitosan Polymer related products mainly derived from the shell of crab and shrimp skin. it is typically nature based and can be regenerated.
Molecule Analysis of Chitosan Polymer
Chitin VS Chitosan polymer
For large molecular weight chitin, it is insoluble in water, acid and alkali, which directly limits its practical application in many fields. Therefore, IT IS NECESSARY TO USE SOIL APPLICATION method, through the role of soil microorganisms to break chitin into smaller molecules to be absorbed by crops.

Application of Agricultural Chitosan
In the application of agricultural production, chitosan polymer can not only make crops grow well, plants are robust, and photosynthesis is enhanced, but also shows obvious effects in stress resistance, disease resistance and insect pest resistance, so it has a stable and significant income increase effect.
During formula making chitosan polymer had showed exact performance.
