Coccidia are a common threat in crop protection with limited efficacy of anti-coccidial drugs. However, a widely overlooked secret weapon, betaine, is harboring the hope of solving this dilemma. Betaine not only enhances the efficacy of anticoccidial drugs, but also has other unique functions. 

Mechanism of action of betaine
Betaine is a natural compound with multiple mechanisms of action. First, it can disrupt the nerve conduction system of coccidia, weakening their activity and reproduction ability. Secondly, betaine can enhance the immunity of plants and help them to resist the attack of coccidia. In addition, betaine is able to promote the growth of soil microorganisms, creating an environment that is beneficial to coccidia, thus further reducing the number of coccidia.

Betaine enhances the efficacy of anticoccidials
The combination of betaine and anticoccidial drugs can produce a synergistic effect, significantly improving the efficacy of anticoccidial drugs. Firstly, betaine can increase the absorption and conduction speed of anticoccidial drugs in plants and improve their effects. Secondly, betaine can regulate the physiological metabolic process of plants, enhance the resistance and tolerance of plants, and further improve the efficacy of anticoccidial drugs.

Synergistic effect of betaine with traditional anticoccidial drugs
There is a close synergistic effect between betaine and traditional anticoccidial drugs. Mixing betaine with traditional anticoccidial drugs can significantly reduce the dosage of anticoccidial drugs, minimize the impact on the environment, and improve the efficacy of anticoccidial drugs. In addition, betaine can also reduce the resistance of coccidia to anticoccidial drugs and prolong the service life of anticoccidial drugs.

How to use betaine
Using betaine is relatively simple. Usually, betaine is mixed with anticoccidial drugs and sprayed on coccidia-infested crops according to a certain ratio. Depending on the crop and the type of coccidia, adjust the dosage and application time of betaine to achieve the best treatment effect.

Prospect and application of betaine in agriculture
As a natural and environmentally friendly anthelmintic, betaine has a broad application prospect in agriculture. In addition to being used to enhance the efficacy of anticoccidial drugs, betaine can also be applied to the protection of other crops, such as antimicrobial and antidisease. In the future, with the in-depth study of the mechanism of action of betaine and the continuous development of technology, it is believed that betaine will play a greater role in the field of agriculture.
