 Pain Points Solved 

With the intensification of global climate change, the risks to rice production are steadily increasing.   In particular, rising nighttime temperatures adversely affect pollination and grain setting, leading to declines in grain filling rate, yield, and milling quality.   In other words, heat stress inhibits rice growth vigor, thereby reducing spikelet fertility and grain quality, which severely threatens food security and farmers' income.     The currently developed amino acid liquid fertilizer not only increases rice yield by 34%, but also enhances rice quality.

 Technology Introduction 

By utilizing agricultural by-products through fermentation, a multifunctional and highly efficient nutrient solution containing complex microbial metabolites is produced for foliar application.   Its primary functions are to promote effective tillering in rice, synchronize heading across tillers of different stages, shorten the rice growth period, and enhance the crop's stress tolerance.

▲Caption:During the rice growth period, the amino acid liquid fertilizer is applied at the peak tillering stage, booting stage, and heading stage
