Brassinolide, as a plant growth regulator, has played an important role in agricultural production since its discovery. In recent years, with the development of agricultural science and technology and the change of market demand, brassinolide and its main component of the compound products emerge in an endless. From fewer than 100 products registered before 2018, the number of products and 135 enterprises has more than doubled. The market share of more than 1 billion yuan and the market potential of 10 billion yuan indicate that this old ingredient is showing new vitality.
01
The discovery and application of time is new
Brassinolide is a kind of natural plant hormone, belonging to steroid hormones, which was first found in rape pollen in 1979, derived from naturally extracted brassin.Brassinolide is a highly effective plant growth regulator, which can significantly increase the growth of plant nutrients and promote fertilization at very low concentrations. Specifically, it can promote cell division and elongation, improve photosynthesis efficiency, enhance stress resistance, promote flower bud differentiation and fruit development, and increase the sugar content of fruits.
In addition, the first aid effect on dead seedlings, root rot, standing dead and quenching caused by repeated cropping, disease, drug damage, freezing damage and other reasons is remarkable, and the application of 12-24 hours is obviously effective, and the vitality is quickly restored.
In recent years, with the growth of global population and the intensive development of agricultural production, the demand for agricultural products has been increasing. In order to meet this demand, improving the yield and quality of crops has become the primary goal of agricultural production. In this context, the market demand for plant growth regulators is gradually rising.Brassinolide is becoming the most powerful driving force in the current crop health era with its performance in increasing production and reducing damage control.
Brassinolide, as a high-efficiency, broad-spectrum plant growth regulator, has been welcomed by farmers because of its remarkable yield increase effect on a variety of crops. Especially in the production of cash crops (such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, etc.) and field crops (such as rice, wheat, corn, etc.), brassinolide is increasingly widely used.
According to market research data, the global market size of plant growth regulators has shown a steady growth trend in the past few years. Among them, the market share of brassicolactone has increased year by year, becoming an important part of the market. In China, the market demand for brassinolide is particularly strong, mainly concentrated in the southern cash crop producing areas and the northern field crop producing areas.
02
Single use and combination market prevails
In recent years, many compound products with brassinolide as the main component have appeared on the market. These products usually combine brassinolactones with other plant growth regulators, nutrients, etc., to form compound formulations in order to exert a stronger combined effect.
For example, the combination of brassinolide with hormones such as gibberellin, cytokinin, and indole acetic acid can regulate plant growth from multiple angles to improve its stress resistance and yield.In addition, the combination of brassinolide with trace elements (such as zinc, boron, iron, etc.) can also significantly improve the nutritional status of plants and enhance their growth vitality.
With the expiration of pyrazolide around 2015, some products combined with pyrazolide, brassinolide and potassium dihydrogen phosphate were widely promoted in the northern fields (corn, wheat, peanut, etc.). It quickly led to the growth of sales of brassinolide.
On the other hand, enterprises speed up the registration of brassinolide related compounding products, and promote the application in different scenarios.Up to now, 234 brassinolide products have obtained pesticide registration, of which 124 are mixed, accounting for more than 50%.The rise of these compound products not only meets the market demand for efficient and multi-functional plant regulators, but also reflects the emphasis on precision fertilization and scientific management in agricultural production.
With the progress of science and technology and the improvement of farmers’ cognition level, such products will have a broader market prospect in the future.Brassinolide is widely used in the production of cash crops such as fruits and vegetables. For example, in grape growing, brassinolide can improve the fruit setting rate, increase the sugar and hardness of the fruit, and improve the appearance and taste of the fruit. In tomato cultivation, brassinolide can promote tomato flowering and fruit, improve yield and fruit quality.Brassinolide also plays an important role in the production of field crops. For example, in rice and wheat cultivation, brassinolide can promote tillering, increase plant height and ear weight, and increase yield.
Brassinolide is also widely used in the production of flowers and ornamental plants. For example, in rose cultivation, brassicolactone can promote flower bud differentiation and flowering, improving the quantity and quality of flowers. In the maintenance of potted plants, brassinolide can promote the growth and branching of plants and increase the ornamental value.
