Applications
1) Stress Resistance in Crops: GABA enhances plant tolerance to abiotic stresses like drought, salinity, and temperature extremes. Foliar sprays or irrigation applications can mitigate the negative effects of these stresses, improving crop yield and quality.
2) Plant Growth Regulation: GABA helps regulate plant growth and development, making it useful in managing the size, shape, and flowering time of crops and ornamental plants.
3) Soil Health Improvement: GABA promotes beneficial microbial activity, contributing to a balanced soil ecosystem and enhancing soil health, which is crucial for sustainable agriculture.
4) Enhanced Crop Ripening & Quality: GABA accelerates ripening, promotes the coloring and sweetening of fruits, and boosts the synthesis of ethylene, anthocyanins, and aromatic substances. It also improves the absorption of essential trace elements, enhancing crop quality.
5) Post-Harvest Preservation: GABA helps extend the shelf life of fruits and vegetables by reducing spoilage and maintaining quality, thus minimizing food waste.
6) Pest and Disease Management: GABA triggers plant defense mechanisms, enhancing plant resistance to pests and diseases, providing an additional layer of protection for crops.
