Naturally Sourced and Highly Pure

Our chitin flakes are sourced with precision and purified to a minimum of 90% purity. Their unique flake-shaped, fibrous texture ensures efficient incorporation into soils or aqueous suspensions. Their light marine scent and off-white to light beige appearance reflect the absence of heavy additives or artificial coloring, perfectly aligning with organic agriculture needs.

Versatile Applications Across Sectors

Chitin flakes serve as a slow-release soil amendment, direct soil conditioner, or as part of a foliar spray when suspended in dilute acid solutions. Recommended for use in agriculture, horticulture, aquaculture, as a bio-pesticide, or as an animal feed additive, their application contributes to improved soil structure, suppressed disease agents, and sustained nutrient delivery.

Safe, Sustainable and Easy to Store

Completely biodegradable and containing less than 10 ppm heavy metals, chitin flakes present a favorite choice for sustainability-conscious growers. They should be stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area, away from direct moisture, to ensure their two-year shelf life remains uncompromised while maintaining maximal effectiveness.

FAQs of Chitin Flakes:

Q: How should chitin flakes be applied for agricultural use?

A: Chitin flakes are most often applied directly to soil as an amendment at a rate of 1 to 5 kg per acre. They can also be incorporated into aqueous suspensions for use as a foliar spray or integrated into compost blends for broader benefits.

Q: What benefits do chitin flakes provide as an organic fertilizer?

A: As an organic fertilizer, chitin flakes enhance soil health, stimulate beneficial microbial activity, and aid in the suppression of nematodes, insect eggs, and fungal soil pathogens, contributing to increased plant resilience and sustainable yield.

Q: When is the best time to use chitin flakes on crops?

A: Chitin flakes are best used during soil preparation before planting or at the start of a growing season. Their slow-release nature ensures prolonged support to soil and crops throughout the cultivation period.

Q: Where should chitin flakes be stored for maximum shelf life?

A: For optimal shelf life, store chitin flakes in their original sealed HDPE, paper, or poly-lined bags in a cool, dry, and ventilated location. Avoid exposure to moisture and direct sunlight to preserve their quality for up to two years.

Q: What is the general process of incorporating chitin flakes into soil?

A: Simply broadcast the chitin flakes evenly over the soil at the recommended dosage and either till, incorporate, or lightly mix them into the top layer of soil. Adequate moisture in the soil enhances their effectiveness during decomposition.

Q: Are chitin flakes safe for the environment and non-target organisms?

A: Yes, chitin flakes are fully biodegradable and contain minimal heavy metals, making them safe for the environment, non-target organisms, and beneficial soil biology when used as directed.

Q: What is the solubility of chitin flakes, and how does this affect their usage?

A: Chitin flakes are insoluble in water, but dissolve in dilute acids, which makes them ideal for slow-release soil applications or as a substrate for aqueous suspensions used in foliar sprays.
