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.

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.
