In recent years, 5-ALA has gradually entered people's field of vision as an agricultural synergist, and many people may be unfamiliar with it.

　　What is 5-ALA?

　　5-ALA, referred to as 5-ALA, is an essential substance for the synthesis of chlorophyll, heme, vitamin B12 and other organisms, and is also an important organic synthesis intermediate. As a photosensitizer, it is widely used in medicine and agricultural production. Recent studies have shown that 5-ALA can regulate chlorophyll synthesis; Improve photosynthetic efficiency, promote photosynthesis and other functions; Promote plant tissue differentiation and other basic physiological activities.

　　5-ALA application in agriculture

　　The role of 5-ALA in agriculture is also very diverse, mainly divided into four types:

　　1, promote photosynthesis by speeding up the synthesis of chlorophyll, that is, the higher the efficiency of photosynthesis in the same time, the more chlorophyll can be produced, and fundamentally improve the growth rate of plants.

　　2, by expanding the stomata of plants to adjust the respiration, so as to improve the yield of seeds.

　　3. Improve the soil quality by reducing the residual nitrogen in the soil, so as to improve the absorption and utilization rate of fertilizers.

　　4, by enhancing the ability of plants to tolerate low temperature, low light, drought and salt to improve their own stress resistance.

　　With the development of science and technology and the deepening of research, the effect of 5-ALA in coloring and sweetening has been gradually excavated.

　　5-ALA Agricultural research data

　　In 2004, Wang Liangju, professor of horticulture at Nanjing Agricultural University, published a research paper entitled "The effect of 5-aminolevulinic acid on promoting apple fruit coloring" in the Journal of Fruit Science, and reported for the first time that 5-ALA can promote apple coloring, without affecting fruit hardness and shelf life, and improve the internal and external quality of fruit.

　　In 2013, Guo Lei et al., Institute of Horticulture, Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, published an article entitled "Research on the mechanism of 5-ALA promoting early coloring of peach peel" in the Journal of Horticulture. It was confirmed that 5-ALA treatment significantly increased the expression of genes related to anthocyanin synthesis in fruit, promoted the advance synthesis and accumulation of pigment in fruit peel, and significantly promoted the growth and maturation.

　　5- What are the specific products of ALA agriculture?

　　Agricultural 5-ALA products are mainly divided into two types: one is a water agent with a content of 2% to 3%, and the other is a powder with a content of 8% to 10%.

　　With the development of science and technology, some companies that make this product have completed breakthroughs in product content. For example, Suzhou Namet Biotechnology Co., LTD., the highest content of the water agent produced by the company has been able to reach 3.5%. In addition to content and cost, the most important thing for merchants is the feasibility and stability of product combination. Feasibility: Recently, many companies have tried to use 5-ALA to replace common agricultural additives such as chito-oligosaccharides, fish protein, and seaweed extract. And the initial results are very satisfactory. Stability: Stability is mainly determined by the physical and chemical properties of 5-ALA itself. There are three main points to note:

　　5-ALA itself has a strong photosensitivity, although agricultural products due to relatively low content and contain some other substances can reduce the impact of light on it, but if it is in direct sunlight conditions will still be easy to decompose. Therefore, it must be stored away from light.

　　5-ALA easily decomposes at high temperatures. Storage conditions as far as possible room temperature, if the compounding process involves high temperature conditions, a few hours is OK, high temperature duration more than one day stability will become worse. At that time, the situation of the product needs to be closely observed.

　　5-ALA itself as an acidic substance, if it is used with alkaline substances, it will affect its own use effect because of acid and base neutralization. Therefore, do not mix with alkaline materials.

　　As long as the above three stability requirements are met, 5-ALA can basically meet the stability requirements of all fertilizer products. Because of its remarkable effect, more and more businesses are currently joining the 5-ALA team, according to the current steady development, in the near future, 5-ALA series of products will be able to shine in the agricultural synergist!
