Chitosan in Plant Protection
Chitin and chitosan are naturally-occurring compounds that have potential in agriculture with regard to controlling plant diseases. These molecules were shown to display toxicity and inhibit fungal growth and development. They were reported to be active against viruses, bacteria and other pests. Fragments from chitin and chitosan are known to have eliciting activities leading to a variety of de...
متن کاملChitosan Effects on Plant Systems
Chitosan (CHT) is a natural, safe, and cheap product of chitin deacetylation, widely used by several industries because of its interesting features. The availability of industrial quantities of CHT in the late 1980s enabled it to be tested in agriculture. CHT has been proven to stimulate plant growth, to protect the safety of edible products, and to induce abiotic and biotic stress tolerance in...
متن کاملBioremediation of thermal power plant effluents with chitosan and chitosan nano particels
Water pollution caused by thermal power plant effluent discharges has become a worrisome phenomenon due to its impact on environmental health and safety. Many treatment processes that have been used to remove heavy metals from wastewater are suffered from high cost. Chitosan is a low cost adsorbent which is biodegradable and biocompatible polymer obtained from shrimp biowaste. In the present st...
متن کاملPlant protection with inorganic ions.
Gradients of salts of the specific ion repellents for Meloidogyne incognita -- NH, K, Cl, and NO -- have been demonstrated to shield tomato roots from infestation in soil. The strategy of these greenhouse experiments was to interpose a salt barrier in a soil column between the plant roots and the nematodes. The relative effectiveness of the salts as a barrier to infective second-stage juveniles...
متن کاملBioinspired microstructures of chitosan hydrogel provide enhanced wear protection.
We describe the fabrication of physical chitosan hydrogels exhibiting a layered structure. This bilayered structure, as shown by SEM and confocal microscopy, is composed of a thin dense superficial zone (SZ), covering a deeper zone (DZ) containing microchannels orientated perpendicularly to the SZ. We show that such structure favors diffusion of macromolecules within the hydrogel matrix up to a...
