What Is The Difference Between Chitosan Oligosaccharide And Chitosan? (1)

Core Differences – Molecular Size Dictates Function

Chitosan Polymer (5) G-Teck Chitosan: Derived from deacetylated chitin (found in crustacean shells), with a high molecular weight(with a degree of deacetylation of up to 90%)

Key Traits: Forms physical barriers, enhances soil structure, and activates plant defense mechanisms.

Primary Uses: Soil remediation, seed coating, and antifungal treatments.

AB449CD61CF734166C8C51B5C9DA6961 G-Teck Chitosan Oligosaccharid(COS):Enzymatically or chemically degraded Chitosan, with a low molecular weight (<3,000 Da).

Key Traits: Easily absorbed by plants, directly regulates gene expression, and boosts stress resistance.

Primary Uses: Drought/salt tolerance, root stimulation, and fruit quality enhancement.

Chitosan excels in “external protection”:

Soil remediation: Binds heavy metals in contaminated soil.

Disease prevention: Creates antimicrobial barriers for seeds/leaves.

Cost-effective: Ideal for large-scale crops or soil restoration.

COS specializes in “internal activation”:

Stress resistance: Enhances drought/salt tolerance by upregulating antioxidant enzymes.

Yield/quality boost: Promotes root growth, flower retention, and nutrient accumulation in fruits.

Premium performance: Best for high-value crops (e.g., greenhouse vegetables, ornamental plants).
