New Applications of Cistanche in the Control of Crop Pests and Diseases
The Juelun Chemical production plant adheres to the spirit of innovation and exploration, and continues to study in the agricultural field. It has discovered a unique and novel application method of Cistanche in the control of crop diseases and pests, which has brought new light to the sustainable development of agriculture.

Cistanche, a valuable Chinese herbal medicine in traditional cognition, has shown different value under the in-depth research of the Juelun Chemical team. The various active ingredients contained in Cistanche have become a powerful "weapon" to resist crop diseases and pests.

From the chemical composition, Cistanche is rich in phenylethanolides, cycloalkene ether terpenes, polysaccharides and other substances. These ingredients work together to produce a significant inhibitory effect on crop pests and diseases. For example, phenylethanol glycosides can interfere with the nervous system of pests, affecting their feeding and reproduction behavior. When pests come into contact with or eat crops containing such ingredients, their nervous system is disturbed, resulting in slow movement, loss of appetite, and ultimately reduced damage to crops.

In terms of disease control, the polysaccharide component in Cistanche has the function of enhancing crop immunity. It can stimulate the crop's own defense mechanism, so that when the crop is faced with the invasion of pathogenic bacteria, it can quickly initiate an immune response and produce a series of antibacterial substances, such as phytoprotectin, which can effectively resist the invasion of diseases. It is like wearing a strong "protective suit" for crops, so that they can grow healthily in an environment full of pathogenic bacteria.

In practical applications, the Juelun Chemical production plant has developed a series of pest control products based on Cistanche. These products are characterized by environmental protection, safety and high efficiency, which are essentially different from traditional chemical pesticides. They do not leave harmful residues on crops, and do not cause pollution to the ecological environment such as soil and water sources, which is in line with the current needs of green agriculture development.

There are also various ways to use these products. Cistanche extract can be made into a spray preparation and sprayed foliar during the high incidence of crop diseases and insects, so that the active ingredients can directly act on the diseases and insects. It can also be added to irrigation water and absorbed through the root system, so that crops can enhance their resistance to diseases and insects from within. Moreover, these products have good compatibility with other biological control methods, such as the release of natural enemy insects, and can jointly build a comprehensive and multi-level crop pest control system.

Juelun Chemical Production Plant has provided a new, green and environmentally friendly solution for agricultural production through in-depth exploration of Cistanche in the field of crop pest control, and is expected to play an important role in future agricultural development and help agriculture move towards a more sustainable development path.
