As a highly efficient and low-toxic plant conditioner, the development of the gibberellic acid (GA) industry is favored by both policy and demand factors.

Gibberellic acid, also known as gibberellin, or GA for short, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C19H22O6. It appears as a white crystalline powder and is easily soluble in alcohols, acetone, ethyl acetate, sodium bicarbonate solution, etc., and is difficult to Soluble in water and ether. Gibberellic acid is a general name for compounds with a gibberellic acid skeleton that can stimulate cell division and elongation. It is mainly used in the agricultural field as a broad-spectrum plant growth regulator.

The current large-scale production method of gibberellic acid is the fermentation method, which refers to the fermentation of gibberella in sucrose, bran, inorganic salt and other media, and then through concentration-extraction method, resin adsorption method, ion exchange adsorption It is extracted by methods such as method and activated carbon adsorption method. Among them, the concentration-extraction method is currently the main method for extracting gibberellic acid from fermentation broth. It has the advantage of high extraction efficiency. The mainstream extraction agent is ethyl acetate.

Gibberellic acid is a broad-spectrum plant growth regulator with excellent performance. It can promote plant cell elongation, accelerate crop growth and development, and on this basis improve crop quality and increase yield; it can reduce crop organ shedding, It can improve fruit setting rate and increase the proportion of seedless fruits; it can break dormancy and promote crop germination; it is low-toxic to humans and animals, and it is a low-toxic plant growth regulator, making mature fruits safer to eat.

According to the “2023-2028 Gibberellic Acid (GA) Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research CenterIt shows that with its various advantageous properties, gibberellic acid has now been widely used in crop cultivation fields such as vegetables, fruits, rice, cotton, tea trees, etc., and the market penetration rate is continuing to increase. In 2022, my country’s gibberellic acid market size will reach 610 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 4.4%.

At the same time, as a type of highly efficient and low-toxic plant growth regulator, the industry development of gibberellic acid is also strongly supported by national policies. For example, in January 2022, the “14th Five-Year Plan” National Pesticide Industry Development Plan issued by the state proposed , support the development of new chemical pesticides with high efficiency and low risk, and vigorously develop biological pesticides.

Due to the continued favorable demand and policy factors, currently many companies in my country have entered the gibberellic acid market, including Shanghai Tongrui Biotechnology, Zhejiang Qianjiang Biochemistry, Jiangsu Bailing Agrichemical, Jiangsu Fengyuan Bioengineering, and Sichuan Lomon Fusheng Technology , Jiangxi Xinruifeng Biochemical Co., Ltd., etc. As of the first half of 2023, there have been more than 170 gibberellic acid products registered in my country within the validity period. The main categories include gibberellin·chlorfenuron, gibberellin·thidiazuron, benzylamine·gibberellic acid, etc.

Industrial analysts said that as a highly efficient and low-toxic plant growth regulator, gibberellic acid has It has been widely used in the fields of vegetable, fruit, rice and other crop cultivation, and the market size is continuing to expand. At the same time, as a type of biopesticide, the industry development of gibberellic acid is also strongly supported by national policies. The number of companies in this field in my country is currently increasing, and the overall development trend of the industry is good.
