What will plants benefit from Succinic acid?
1. Succinic acid is used as a plant growth regulator to increase crop yield and enhance stress tolerance in plants. It helps in improving the efficiency of photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, and other metabolic processes in plants.
2. Succinic acid is used as a soil conditioner to improve soil health and fertility. It helps in increasing the availability of nutrients to plants by enhancing the soil’s cation exchange capacity, water-holding capacity, and microbial activity.
3. Succinic acid is used as a post-harvest treatment to extend the shelf life of fruits, vegetables, and other crops. It helps in reducing the rate of respiration, delaying ripening, and preventing spoilage due to microbial growth.
4. Succinic acid is used as a natural pesticide to control pests and diseases in crops. It acts as a repellent, insecticide, and fungicide, preventing the growth and spread of harmful organisms that can damage crops.
5. Succinic acid is used in the production of biofuels and bioplastics from agricultural waste. It can be produced by fermentation of agricultural byproducts such as corn stover, wheat straw, and sugarcane bagasse, making it a sustainable and eco-friendly solution for the agriculture industry.
