Raw Material/Filler
Description
In agriculture, sodium bicarbonate plays a role in controlling fungal diseases on plants. It acts as a natural and environmentally friendly fungicide, helping to manage powdery mildew and other fungal infections. Its application on crops can contribute to healthier plants and improved agricultural yields while minimizing the use of synthetic chemicals.
कृषि में, सोडियम बाइकार्बोनेट पौधों पर फंगल रोगों को नियंत्रित करने में भूमिका निभाता है। यह एक प्राकृतिक और पर्यावरण के अनुकूल कवकनाशी के रूप में कार्य करता है, जो ख़स्ता फफूंदी और अन्य कवक संक्रमणों को प्रबंधित करने में मदद करता है। फसलों पर इसका प्रयोग सिंथेटिक रसायनों के उपयोग को कम करते हुए स्वस्थ पौधों और बेहतर कृषि उपज में योगदान कर सकता है।
MECHANISM OF ACTION
- pH Alteration: Sodium bicarbonate raises the pH on plant surfaces, creating an unfavorable environment for fungal growth.
- Direct Contact: It disrupts the fungal cell membrane upon direct contact, leading to cell damage and death.
- Osmotic Stress: Sodium bicarbonate extracts water from fungal cells, causing dehydration and weakening of the fungus.
- Ion Imbalance: Disrupts the balance of ions within fungal cells, interfering with their metabolic processes.
DOSE OF Sodium
BENEFITS OF Sodium
- Safe and Non-Toxic: Sodium is non-toxic, making it safe for use in various applications, including food, personal care, and cleaning.
- Antacid Properties: It can relieve heartburn and indigestion by neutralizing excess stomach acid when ingested.
- Leavening Agent: Sodium bicarbonate is a common leavening agent in baking, helping dough and batter rise by releasing carbon dioxide gas.
- Cleaning Agent: It acts as an effective and gentle abrasive cleaner for various surfaces, removing stains and odors.
- Deodorizer: Sodium bicarbonate can neutralize odors in shoes, refrigerators, carpets, and more.
- Personal Care: It is used in toothpaste and as an ingredient in bath products for its mild abrasive and odor-neutralizing properties.
