Coating materials used in desert greening

Greening in deserts and water shortages. Planting and planting grass, because of soil drought, it is very difficult for plant seeds to germinate. For this reason, the researchers developed a highly absorbent natto resin from Japan's natto, making it ideal for afforesting deserts and water-scarce areas with ideal seed coating materials. Just use this resin to wrap plant seeds. Planting in deserts and water shortages can germinate quickly, and the effect is ideal.

Natto is a kind of food in Japan. It is fermented by soybeans. With chopsticks, it can pick up very long silk. The polyglutamic acid polymer in this natto filament is made of e-beam fat. The natto resin is a white powder with strong water absorbency and its water absorption capacity is five times that of paper and "urine is not wet." Once it is saturated with water, the white powder becomes jelly-like and can be wrapped on the surface of the plant seed as a seed coating material. Not long ago, researchers used the coating material to wrap plant seeds and conducted planting experiments. They wrapped some of the pasture seeds with natto resin and then sprinkled them on the dry, dry, sandy foothills of Mount Aso. After a week, the seeds of the pasture sprouted and they went well. In the past, pasture seeds were not wrapped or wrapped with other coating materials and they did not germinate.
