Do you know if the English and Chinese versions contain the same information or is there more in the Chinese version?
Translating the Chinese version gives some interesting material that I did not see before, from recollection. Below is the google translated R&D page, remembering the "Kantan" or "Kangtan" is "Kiwa":
"R & D team
Kangtan Biotechnology Group has strong technical research and development capabilities:
Kangtan First Agricultural University Biotechnology R&D Center
Microbial Fertilizer R&D Team of Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences
?In 2006, in close cooperation with China Agricultural University, on the basis of the Institute of Biotechnology of China Agricultural University, we established the Kangtan-Nongda Biotechnology R&D Center. The R&D center is responsible for the technology development and product planning of Kangtan Biotechnology Group.
?In 2015, it established a strategic cooperative relationship with the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and conducted in-depth cooperation on the issue of "how to make full use of the technical strength of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences' microbial application research to enhance the product development strength of Kantan Group". In particular, the addition of Mr. Song Yonglin, a crop nutrition and biological fertilizer expert from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, brings the most advanced biological fertilizer research capabilities and cutting-edge information of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences into the Kantan R&D system, which greatly improves Kantan’s overall technology. Level.
Core Technology
Core technology-Kangtan patented strain: compound increasing production strain
A variety of high-efficiency microbial strains selected from the plant body and rhizosphere are compounded in a specific ratio.
Principle of action: Through the colonization, reproduction and transfer of microbial functional strains in the root surface, rhizosphere and body of the crop, it can effectively regulate the microbial composition of the roots and the body of the crop, increase the number of beneficial microorganisms, inhibit harmful bacteria, and effectively remove insoluble or insoluble soil The potassium and phosphorus of the plant are converted into available potassium and available phosphorus directly absorbed by crops, and it has a strong nitrogen fixation effect, which improves the absorption and utilization of soil nutrients. At the same time, it can produce a variety of physiologically active substances, enhance crop resistance and stress resistance, promote crop growth, increase yield, improve quality, and mature earlier. It can reduce the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and reduce the residual pollution of harmful substances.
Main functions of Kangtan patented compound increasing bacteria
Accelerate the decomposition of organic matter and provide "power" for crop production or conversion of quick-acting nutrients.
Activate the soil and improve fertilizer efficiency. It can release soluble phosphorus and potassium elements and trace elements such as calcium, sulfur, magnesium, iron, zinc, molybdenum, and manganese from the soil.
Improve the soil supply environment. The exopolysaccharide overflowed by the activated bacteria in the fertilizer is the binder of the soil aggregate structure, which can loosen the soil, improve the water and fertilizer capacity, increase the soil organic matter, and activate the potential nutrients in the soil.
Increase crop resistance and inhibit soil-borne diseases. After reproducing in the soil, it secretes plant growth stimulators and a variety of enzymes to enhance the resistance of crops to some diseases; it also inhibits the growth of other pathogens. Promoting the proliferation of beneficial microorganisms in the rhizosphere of crops can significantly reduce the infection of soil-borne diseases and reduce the disease index of continuous crops. Continuous application can greatly alleviate continuous cropping obstacles.
The effect of KMF biotechnology on crop growth
1. Improve soil and fertility: rapidly increase soil organic matter content, improve soil aggregate structure, enhance soil water and fertilizer retention capacity and soil aeration and other physical and chemical properties; have the function of fixing nitrogen, dissolving phosphorus and potassium, activating soil nutrients, and reducing fertilizer use , Improve fertilizer utilization.
2. Comprehensive nutrients and long-lasting fertilizer effects: High-quality organic raw materials continue to provide nutrients for crops under the decomposing action of abundant beneficial microorganisms. Natural growth-promoting substances such as amino acids and plant stimulants produced in the metabolic process can promote the germination, rooting and strong seedlings of crops, and increase the survival rate.
3. Prevention of disease and adversity and prevention of repeated cropping: The rich beneficial microorganisms can rapidly multiply and occupy the space of the rhizosphere, competing with harmful microorganisms for living space in the soil; at the same time, it can produce a variety of natural growth-promoting substances and prevent pests and diseases during the metabolic process. Physiologically active substance; can effectively inhibit the growth of plant pathogenic bacteria, inhibit nematodes, prevent cropping diseases and root diseases, thereby reducing the amount of pesticides and improving crop disease prevention, freezing resistance, drought resistance, and waterlogging resistance.
4. Naturally harmless, increase production and improve quality: use natural pure plant-derived organic raw materials to produce, no pollution, no residue, non-toxic and harmless to humans and animals; it can degrade heavy metals and pesticide residues in the soil, increase the output of agricultural products, and improve the quality of agricultural products .
The role of KMF biotechnology in soil management
1. The principle of KMF biotechnology to improve acidified and compacted soil:
Superphosphate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, etc. are all biologically acidic fertilizers, that is, after plants absorb the nutrient segregants in the fertilizer, hydrogen ions in the soil increase, which easily causes soil acidification. During the propagation of the KMF compound microbial flora, a large number of biological enzymes are decomposed, which can break the hydrogen ions adsorbed by soil colloids, thereby reducing the formation of acidic substances and reducing soil acidity. It can also convert organic matter into humus and increase the content of soil humus. Humus has moderate cohesiveness, which can make clay loose and sandy soil cohesive. It is a good cementing agent for forming agglomerated structure. At the same time, the bacterial secretion can dissolve the phosphate in the soil and release the phosphorus. At the same time, it also releases potassium and trace element cations to restore the aggregate structure in the form of bond bridges and eliminate soil compaction.
2. The principle of KMF compound microbial flora transformation and degradation of pesticide residues:
Pesticide residues are all organic compounds, and the transforming and decomposing bacteria contained in the KMF composite microbial flora can absorb these organic compounds into the body by inducing adsorption, and then undergo a series of physiological and biochemical reactions under the action of various enzymes. , And finally completely decompose pesticides into non-toxic compounds with smaller molecular weight.
3. The principle of KMF compound microbial flora transformation and degradation of heavy metals:
The first is the biosorption and enrichment of heavy metals. The heavy metal degrading bacteria contained in the flora can adsorb heavy metal ions through the surface of their own charged cells, or actively absorb heavy metal ions by ingesting necessary nutrient elements to enrich the heavy metal ions on the surface or inside of the bacteria.
The second is the oxidation-reduction process of heavy metals. The heavy metal degrading bacteria in the KMF composite microbial flora can change the valence of heavy metals through direct oxidation or reduction. The change of the valence of heavy metals will affect the solubility, mobility and ecological toxicity of heavy metals. Take the heavy metal chromium (Cr) as an example. Cr6+ has strong toxicity and water solubility, while Cr3+ has low toxicity and water solubility. It has poor mobility in the soil. Heavy metal degrading bacteria can reduce Cr6+ to Cr3+, reducing the content of Cr. Ecotoxicity and mobility in the soil, so as to achieve the purpose of Cr pollution control."
