Glycine Betaine
Also known as: Betaine Anhydrous
Betaine Anhydrous(Glycine betaine) is one of the essential amino acids that plays role function in growth. It can promote the growth of crop roots to a certain extent, improve root vitality, and add essential trace elements for plants that are generally lacking in the soil.

Key benefits
- Drought and Stress Resistance Regulates cellular osmotic pressure, retains moisture during drought, and reduces wilting.
- Salt and Alkali Tolerance Mitigates soil salinity stress and ion toxicity; suitable for saline-alkali soils.
- High-Temperature and Intense Light Resistance Prevents leaf water loss, curling, and sunscald under high temperatures and strong sunlight.
- Low-Temperature and Frost Resistance Stabilizes cell membranes and mitigates frost damage and injury from late-spring cold snaps.
- Alleviation of Chemical Injury Reduces burning and yellowing caused by herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides.
Suggested dosage & application
- For Formulators Solubility: Highly water-soluble (>160g/100mL); forms a clear, neutral, and ultra-stable solution. Compatibility: Heat/pH resistant. Blends perfectly into NPKs, amino acids, fulvic acids, and seaweed extracts. Blending Rate: Add 1% to 5% of Betaine 98% into the final liquid or powder fertilizer formulation.
- Field Application Rates (End-User) Standard foliar dilution concentration is 300 to 1,000 mg/L (ppm). Field Crops (Rice, Wheat, Corn, Cotton): Apply 0.5 to 1.5 kg/ha via foliar spray at tillering, flowering, or 2–3 days before expected stress (drought/frost). Cash Crops (Fruits, Vegetables): Dilute at 1:800 to 1:1,500 for foliar spray during early fruiting and sizing. Prevents sunburn, reduces fruit cracking, and increases sugar content. Soil Drip/Irrigation (Saline Soils): Apply 3 to 5 kg/ha to protect roots from salt shock and preserve soil moisture.
- Tips Apply 48 hours BEFORE extreme weather (heatwaves, frosts, droughts) to build a protective shield inside plant cells. Safe and zero phytotoxicity risks.
