What is Chitosan
Chitosan is derived from chitin which is found in the exoskeletons of shellfish such as shrimp, lobster or crabs.
Chitosan is considered environmentally friendly for agricultural use as its easily degradable and non toxic to humans.
Chitosan has been shown to induce/elicit natural defense responses in plants and its has been used as a natural compound to control pre and post harvest pathogenic diseases.
It has been shown that fungal, bacterial and viral plant pathogens may be controlled by chitosan application.
Chitosan has also been shown to increase yields, independent of pathogenic disease control, research has shown that chitosan increases the flavonoids and terpenoids in herbaceous resin producing plants.
