improve the soil
Adjusting soil pH: Citric acid is acidic and can neutralize alkaline substances in alkaline soil, reducing soil pH and making the soil more suitable for crop growth.
Activating soil nutrients: Citric acid can form chelates with some metal ions in the soil (such as iron, aluminum, manganese, etc.), converting these originally insoluble nutrients into soluble states, increasing the content of effective nutrients in the soil, improving soil fertility, and facilitating plant nutrient absorption.
Promote plant growth
Participate in plant metabolism: Citric acid is an important intermediate product in the tricarboxylic acid cycle in plants, involved in plant respiration and energy metabolism processes. Moderate citric acid can promote plant metabolism, enhance plant physiological activity, and thus promote plant growth and development.
Improving plant stress resistance: Citric acid can regulate the osmotic pressure within plant cells, enhancing their adaptability to adverse conditions such as drought and salinity. At the same time, it can also participate in the plant's antioxidant defense system, improve the plant's ability to clear free radicals, reduce oxidative damage, and enhance the plant's stress resistance.
the prevention and control of plant diseases and elimination of pests
Antibacterial effect: Citric acid has a certain inhibitory effect on some plant pathogens. It can reduce the occurrence of diseases by lowering the pH value of the environment, inhibiting the growth and reproduction of pathogens.
Pest repellent: The scent of citric acid has a repellent effect on certain pests. Dilute citric acid and spray it on crops to keep pests away from the plants and reduce their damage.
Improve the quality of agricultural products
Promoting fruit development: Proper use of citric acid during fruit growth and development can regulate hormone balance within the fruit, promoting fruit enlargement, coloring, and ripening.
Extend the shelf life of agricultural products: Citric acid has a certain anti-corrosion and preservation effect. Soaking agricultural products in citric acid solution or treating them with preservatives containing citric acid can lower the pH value on the surface of agricultural products, inhibit microbial growth, reduce decay and spoilage, and extend the shelf life of agricultural products.
