Description:
Tea saponin is a triterpenoid glycoside abstracted from the natural camelia tea seeds. It tastes bitter and spicy. Tea saponin is a natural non-ionic surfactant. After formulation, it can be used in pesticides, textiles, everyday chemicals, and aquaculture fields.
CAS NO.: 8047-15-2
EINECS NO.: 232-462-6
Molecular Formula: C57H90O26
Application in Aquaculture Area:
1. Eliminate unwanted fish, mollusks, and harmful insects in aquaculture ponds.
2. It detoxifies quickly in water and is not harmful to humans who use water.
3. It does not leave accumulated waste and is economically available for its use.
4. It can prevent branchial black shrimp disease and control parasites while improving ecdysis and growth.
5. It can be used as an agent for cleaning ponds due to the functions of hemolysis and fish poison (3ppm - 5ppm will give good results) in order to kill them without damaging the shrimp.
Application in Molluscicide Area:
Tea Saponin is a natural molluscicide without any potential harm to humans, animals, and the environment. It is largely applied in the rice field to kill snails, especially Golden Apple Snail with excellent efficacy. It also can ensure high harvest and top-quality rice without accumulated harmful elements.
