Ectoine, also known as tetrahydropyrimidine, is a natural
compatible solute synthesized by halophilic microorganisms and
belongs to the category of amino acid derivatives. With a molecular
formula of C₆H₁₀N₂O₂, it is a highly efficient cell protectant. It
can stabilize protein structures and biomembrane systems, and
exhibits strong stress-resistant protective activity. With the
in-depth development of green and sustainable agriculture, Ectoine
has also been widely applied in the plant field, featuring the
effects of enhancing stress resistance and promoting plant growth.
Product Application Forms
Solid Products: Compound fertilizer, organic fertilizer,
bio-fertilizer, medium and trace element granules
Liquid Products: Suspended macro-element fertilizers, suspended
medium and trace element liquid fertilizers, suspended amino acid
liquid fertilizers, suspended humic acid liquid fertilizers, liquid
microbial agents, etc.
Core Advantages
Salt and Alkali Tolerance
It maintains the stability of biological macromolecules (cell
membranes, proteins) and ion balance (K⁺, Ca²⁺, Na⁺, Cl⁻, etc.);
sustains the intensity of photosynthesis and respiration (gas
exchange); scavenges free radicals and resists oxidative stress
responses caused by high-salt stress.
Sunscald Resistance (Recommended for Foliar Fertilizer Addition)
The conjugated π bonds in Ectoine have strong UV absorption and
filtering properties, which can reduce DNA damage; it can activate
the cellular antioxidant system and alleviate the oxidative stress
impact of ultraviolet light on cells.
Water Retention & Hydration (Suitable for Both Root and Foliar
Fertilizers)
The carboxyl groups and pyrimidine rings in the Ectoine molecule
form a large conjugated system, endowing Ectoine with high
electronegativity and hydrophilicity. One molecule of Ectoine can
bind 4-5 water molecules through hydrogen bonds.
