In addition to its application in the health care field, melatonin also has good application effects in agriculture.

Melatonin is an indoleamine compound commonly found in organisms, which has the functions of regulating circadian rhythms and seasonal reproductive development. It can participate in the processes of plant seed germination, root development, flowering, fruit setting and fruit ripening, and can also act as an antioxidant to enhance the ability of plants to cope with abiotic stresses such as drought, cold and salt.

Usage:

* Fresh-keeping: Melatonin can effectively inhibit the degradation of chlorophyll in plants and the activity of enzymes related to lignin synthesis, thereby reducing the accumulation of lignin in fruits and maintaining the quality of fresh fruits and vegetables after harvest. ‌

* Enhance the resistance of plants to abiotic stress. ‌

* Reduce pesticide residues: Exogenous melatonin treatment can significantly reduce the pesticide residues in vegetable crops after spraying pesticides.
