Description

What is Chitosan Oligosaccharide?

Chitosan Oligosaccharide (COS) is a high-purity, light-yellow, water-soluble biopolymer derived from natural sea sources through advanced enzymatic hydrolysis. Unlike traditional chitosan, this agricultural-grade formulation is engineered with a molecular weight below 1500 Da, allowing for rapid absorption by plant leaves and roots. It serves as a sustainable, eco-friendly biostimulant and natural growth promoter.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

To ensure high-performance in commercial settings, NY-COS and CSY-COS offer the following technical advantages:

• Ultra-Low Molecular Weight: Below 1500 Da for superior bioavailability and cellular penetration.

• High Clarity Rating: Offers exceptional transparency with ratings between 100 and 240, ensuring no residue is left behind.

• 100% Water Solubility: Dissolves instantly into a clear solution, making it safe for precision equipment.

• Odorless Character: A clean, uniform powder suitable for indoor greenhouse use.

Proven Agricultural Benefits

Using NY-COS/CSY-COS in your integrated pest management (IPM) or nutrient program provides several systemic benefits:

• Immune System Activation: Triggers systemic resistance to fungal and bacterial infections.

• Enhanced Nutrient Efficiency: Boosts the uptake of essential minerals and fertilizers.

• Root & Seed Development: Supports robust root architecture and improves seed germination rates.

• Abiotic Stress Tolerance: Strengthens plants against environmental stressors while maintaining soil microbial diversity.

Commercial Applications

This versatile biostimulant is an environmentally sustainable alternative to chemical growth regulators and synthetic pesticides. It is optimized for:

1. Foliar Sprays: Rapid absorption for immediate immune response.

2. Drip Irrigation: Ideal for soil amendment and rhizosphere health.

3. Hydroponic Systems: Perfect for high-value vegetables where water clarity is critical.

4. Seed Treatments: Coating seeds to ensure high survival rates in early growth stages.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What makes NY-COS/CSY-COS better than standard chitosan?

Standard chitosan often has a high molecular weight, making it insoluble in water without acids. Our NY-COS/CSY-COS is “pre-digested” into oligosaccharides (<1500 Da), ensuring it is 100% water-soluble and immediately available to the plant.

2. Does it leave residue in irrigation lines?

No. Because of its excellent solubility and high clarity (rating 100–240), it is specifically designed for high-clarity applications that require superior solubility.

3. How does it support sustainable farming?

It promotes healthier plant metabolism and improved yields while maintaining soil balance and microbial diversity, allowing farmers to reduce their reliance on chemical pesticides.
