In greenhouse environments, amino oligosaccharides demonstrate excellent performance against prevalent viral diseases, fungal diseases, and root-knot nematodes:
1. Antiviral – The most prominent strength: Amino oligosaccharides are highly effective against difficult-to-treat viral diseases in greenhouses.
- Pepper viral disease: After three applications in plastic greenhouses, the control effect against viral diseases reached 97.6% (750-fold dilution), far superior to the control agent triacontanol.
2. Disease prevention – Broad-spectrum and highly effective: It effectively induces plants to resist various fungal and bacterial diseases, with effects comparable to chemical pesticides.
- Strawberry powdery mildew: The control efficacy on greenhouse strawberries reached 62.34%; other data show that the control efficacy can reach up to 81.6%.
Cucumber powdery mildew: Continuous spraying when the disease is mild can achieve a control efficacy of 52.5% ~ 91.5%.
- Pepper blight: The prevention effect can reach 100%.
3. Nematode Control – Unique Advantages
Amino oligosaccharides can dissolve the body wall and eggshell of root-knot nematodes, making it one of the few biological pesticides with a specific effect on nematodes.
Comprehensive Control Efficacy: Its control effect on root-knot nematodes in various crops is consistently around **85%**, superior to abamectin and comparable to chemical nematicides.
4. Growth Promotion and Quality Improvement – Additional “Value-Added Services”
Besides disease prevention, it can significantly improve crop growth and fruit quality.
Strawberry Yield and Quality Improvement: It can increase the number of flowers by 20%, the weight of single fruit by 21.3%, and the reducing sugar content by 5.5%.
Growth Promotion Effect: In strawberries, it can increase plant height and stem diameter by 12.7% and 18.2%, respectively.
