Tea Saponin

Natural Plant Source + 60% High Purity: A “Multifunctional Partner” for Green Agriculture

This product is a high-purity refined powder (300 mesh) derived from natural plant tea seed meal, with tea saponin as the core component (Saponin >60%). It has a pH value of 5.2, weakly acidic, and features 100% water solubility. As an excellent natural non-ionic surfactant, it has wide application value in agricultural production:

1. High-efficiency cleaning agent and wetting agent: Natural surface activity. Tea saponin can significantly reduce water surface tension, with excellent emulsifying, dispersing and wetting capabilities. When used for irrigation or foliar spraying, it can powerfully clean plant surfaces and soil residues, improving the permeability and utilization rate of pesticides and fertilizers.

2. Biological pesticide synergist: Broad-spectrum bactericidal and insecticidal. As a natural plant-derived pesticide, tea saponin inhibits various underground pests (such as snails, cutworms) and some fungal diseases. More importantly, it can be mixed with chemical pesticides to significantly enhance efficacy, reduce pesticide usage, and align with green prevention and control trends.

3. Fishery pond cleaning and aquaculture: Environmentally friendly impurity removal. In aquaculture, tea saponin is an ideal pond cleaner, effectively killing wild fish, snails, aquatic insects, etc., while harmless to cultured organisms such as shrimp and crabs, serving as an environmentally safe alternative.

4. Soil remediation and improvement: Easy degradation without residue. The product is easily biodegradable (moisture ≤ 5%), weakly acidic with pH 5.2, and does not burden the soil. It helps improve soil micro-ecology and enhance organic matter utilization efficiency.

5. 300-mesh fine powder: 100% water-soluble without clogging. Ultra-fine 300-mesh powder ensures rapid dissolution during use, completely avoiding caking or clogging of drip irrigation and spraying equipment, making it convenient and efficient to use.

Expert Recommendation: Widely applicable to organic agriculture, aquaculture and conventional agriculture. When used as a pesticide synergist, it is recommended to avoid mixing with alkaline pesticides; as an irrigation fertilizer partner, it can significantly improve fertilizer utilization efficiency.

1

How does tea saponin improve the effectiveness of pesticides or fertilizers?

Tea saponin is a natural surfactant that enhances the wettability and permeability of pesticide or fertilizer solutions. This makes pesticides easier to adhere to pest surfaces or plant leaves, and fertilizer nutrients easier to penetrate deep into the soil or inside leaves, thereby reducing waste and improving absorption and utilization efficiency.

Application & Dosage: Tea Saponin

Suitable for various fruits, vegetables, food crops and green planting bases; can be used as a fertilizer additive and natural insect repellent, combining soil improvement and protection effects.

Fertilizer Manufacturing and Blending

  • Organic Fertilizer:
    300-mesh fine powder is easy to mix, improving fertilizer dispersibility while adding natural antibacterial properties to organic fertilizers and inhibiting harmful soil bacteria.
  • Liquid Fertilizer:
    Mixes evenly with liquid fertilizers, enhancing nutrient penetration and crop absorption efficiency through surface activity.
  • Biological Fertilizer:
    Natural ingredients are non-irritating, can work synergistically with biological fertilizers, protect beneficial microbial activity, and strengthen soil micro-ecological balance.

Green Planting Protection

  • Foliar Spraying:
    Diluted for foliar spraying, forming a protective film to repel pests such as aphids and red spiders, while inhibiting foliar pathogen reproduction.
  • Soil Treatment:
    Applied with irrigation, inhibiting nematodes and harmful microorganisms in the soil, improving the rhizosphere environment and promoting healthy root growth.
