Betaine is a cellular osmotic pressure regulator,mainly converges in cytoplasm,which can keep the osmotic pressure inside and outside the cell and maintain all normal physiological functions of the cell.So what’s the function of betaine applied in agriculture?
The key solution to preventing the cracked melons is to adjust the water balance.In general,the very effective strategy is to manipulate soil water content, especially during the expansion period of young melons. From the external economy, preventing cracked melons is the balance of osmotic pressure inside and outside the cell to keep the cell structure stable.Under the condition of drought, waterlogging, rainy days and other water changes,the cell will quickly hygroscopic burst resulting in rotten fruit.Ultra-low temperature or strong temperature change, fruit growth and development rate is not consistent,part of the cell collapse after rapid expansion, also very easy to cause cell burst, resulting in rotten fruit. The mechanism of betaine is to fill the betaine glycine and adjust the melon pulp cells inside and outside osmotic pressure balanced when meet the flood ,drought and temperature changes,stable cell membrane structure engineering,and make the melons pulp cells synchronously or symmetrically expand to reasonably prevent cracked melons and reduce the loss.
