Alpha-ketoglutarate (α-KG) is an important organic compound that has a wide range of applications in both biology and chemistry. As a plant nutrient enhancer, alpha-ketoglutaric acid can promote plant growth and development, improve crop yield and quality. Below we will introduce the main application range of α-ketoglutarate plant nutrient enhancer in detail.

　　First, promote plant growth

　　α-ketoglutaric acid can promote plant root development and enhance root vitality, thereby improving plant nutrient absorption efficiency in soil. This is very beneficial for increasing the growth rate and yield of crops.

　　Second, improve stress resistance

　　Alpha-ketoglutaric acid can enhance plant stress resistance and help plants resist the effects of drought, salt and alkali and other adverse environments. This is of great significance for improving the survival rate and yield of crops under harsh conditions.

　　Third, improve fruit quality

　　α-ketoglutaric acid helps to increase the sugar content and vitamin content of fruits, improve the taste and nutritional value of fruits, and is very key to improve the market competitiveness of agricultural products.

　　Fourth, promote seed germination

　　α-ketoglutaric acid can accelerate the germination process of seeds and improve the germination rate of seeds, which plays an important role in the rapid establishment of crop population and shortening planting cycle in agricultural production.

　　Fifth, improve the utilization rate of fertilizer

　　α-ketoglutaric acid can promote the absorption and utilization of important nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by plants, improve the utilization rate of fertilizer, reduce fertilizer waste and reduce environmental pollution.

　　6. Promote photosynthesis

　　α-ketoglutaric acid is an important part of the carbon cycle in plants, which can promote the progress of photosynthesis, improve the photosynthetic efficiency of plants, and increase the accumulation of dry matter.

　　7. Scope of application

　　Food crops: such as rice, wheat, corn, etc., can improve yield and quality.

　　Cash crops: such as soybeans, cotton, rape, etc., can increase yield, improve fiber quality or oil quality.

　　Fruit and vegetable crops: such as apples, pears, grapes, tomatoes, etc., can improve the sweetness and taste of the fruit.

　　Ornamental plants: such as flowers, potted plants, etc., can promote flowering and enhance ornamental value.

　　Horticultural crops: such as vegetables, fruits, etc., can improve the disease resistance and resistance of crops.

　　As an effective plant nutrient enhancer, alpha-ketoglutaric acid plays an important role in modern agricultural production. It can not only promote crop growth and development, improve crop yield and quality, but also enhance crop resistance and improve fertilizer utilization, thereby contributing to the realization of sustainable agriculture development goals. With the progress of science and technology, the application prospect of alpha-ketoglutaric acid will be more broad.
