Beta-1,3 Glucan Plant Biostimulant Fertilizer

JINMAI Biological Shield® β-1,3 Glucan is an innovative plant immune-inducing biostimulant designed to enhance crop resistance against diseases while promoting vigorous plant growth. The formulation is centered around high-purity yeast-derived β-1,3 glucan, a naturally occurring polysaccharide widely recognized for its ability to activate biological defense mechanisms in plants.

Unlike traditional pesticides that directly target pathogens, β-1,3 glucan works by stimulating the plant’s own immune system. When applied to crops, the molecule acts as a signaling compound that triggers the plant’s natural defense pathways, inducing the production of pathogenesis-related proteins and protective enzymes. This immune activation enables plants to better resist infections caused by fungi, bacteria, and certain viral pathogens.

The product is further enriched with green algae polysaccharides, yeast extract, amino acids, organic matter, and natural bioactive compounds, providing both immune activation and nutritional support. Through advanced intermittent ultra-filtration and separation technology, the formulation maintains high biological activity while ensuring that key nutrients such as nucleic acids, peptides, and organic nitrogen remain highly available for plant absorption.

By combining plant immunity stimulation with nutritional biostimulation, JINMAI Biological Shield® offers growers a sustainable approach to improving crop health, reducing disease pressure, and enhancing yield and quality.

Technical Indicators

Key Features

Product Efficacy

⦁ Strengthened Plant Immunity

β-1,3 glucan triggers the synthesis of defense proteins and protective enzymes, helping plants resist pathogens before infections become severe.

FAQ

1. What is β-1,3 glucan and why is it important for plants?

β-1,3 glucan is a natural polysaccharide derived from yeast cell walls. It functions as an immune signal that activates plant defense mechanisms, enabling crops to resist pathogens more effectively.

2. Is this product a pesticide?

No. JINMAI Biological Shield® β-1,3 Glucan is not a chemical pesticide. It works by stimulating the plant’s own immune system rather than directly killing pathogens.

3. Can this product reduce the need for chemical fungicides?

Yes. By strengthening plant immunity, it can reduce disease pressure and lower the frequency of pesticide applications in integrated crop management programs.

4. When should growers apply immune-inducing biostimulants?

Applications are most effective before disease outbreaks or during early crop growth stages, when plants are actively developing their defense systems.

5. Is the product compatible with fertilizers and pesticides?

Yes. It can generally be mixed with most water-soluble fertilizers and crop protection products. A small compatibility test is recommended before large-scale use.

6. Does β-1,3 glucan affect crop yield?

Yes. Healthier plants with stronger immunity often exhibit better photosynthesis, stronger growth, and improved yields and crop quality.
