AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, single biological agents are difficult to effectively improve the growth and development of sweet potato roots under different regional and extreme climatic conditions, which limits the development of crops such as sweet potatoes.
A foliar growth promoter prepared by mixing chamomile extract and ectoine fermentation broth was applied by spraying and soaking. Combined with ε-polylysine hydrochloride as a rhizosphere slow-release antibacterial agent, the optimized concentration was diluted 10,000 times to promote sweet potato root growth.
It significantly increases the fresh weight of sweet potato plants and the number of underground roots, enhances the sweet potato's resistance to extreme weather, is low in cost and easy to operate, has high product stability, and ε-polylysine hydrochloride has high safety.
