Applications:
1) Stress Resistance in Crops: GABA is extensively applied in agriculture to improve plant tolerance to abiotic stresses like drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures. Its application via foliar sprays or irrigation systems can significantly reduce the adverse effects of these stresses on crop yield and quality.
2) Plant Growth Regulation: Utilized in controlling plant growth and development, GABA can be applied to regulate the size and flowering time of plants, making it useful in both crop and ornamental plant cultivation.
3) Soil Health Improvement: GABA contributes to enhancing soil health by promoting beneficial microbial activity. Its application can lead to a more balanced soil ecosystem, which is essential for sustainable agricultural practices.
4) Helping crops to color and sweeten and promoting early ripening: Adding GABA to fertilizers promotes the growth of crops, especially the roots. It is also greatly beneficial to the coloring and sweetening of crops in the later stages of growth. GABA induces the synthesis of ethylene, promotes the absorption and utilization of trace elements such as boron, magnesium, potassium, and molybdenum, promotes the accumulation of anthocyanins and aromatic substances in fruits, and helps crops to mature earlier.
5) Post-Harvest Preservation: In post-harvest management, GABA treatments can extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables by reducing the rate of spoilage and maintaining quality, thereby reducing food waste.
6) Pest and Disease Management: GABA plays a role in plant defense mechanisms against pests and diseases. Its application can induce plant resistance.
