Application of ecdysterone in aquaculture agriculture

Ecdysterone is an active substance extracted from the root of Cyanotis arachnoidea C.B.Clarke.According to different purity,it can be divided into white,gray white,light yellow or light brown crystalline powder.In sericulture,it is used to shorten the age of silkworm and promote cocooning;In the aquaculture industry,prawns and crabs are also widely used.Ecdysterone plays a key role in insect growth,development,cell expansion and apoptosis,and regulates molting and metamorphosis by regulating gene expression.Here we will take a look at the application of ecdysterone in aquaculture agriculture.

Application of ecdysterone in aquaculture agriculture

1、Application of ecdysterone in aquaculture agriculture

1.Breeding application

In sericulture,it is used to shorten the silkworm age,make the clusters neat,and promote the spinning and cocooning;Ecdysterone is a necessary substance for the growth,development,shelling and metamorphosis of aquatic crustaceans shrimp and crab,and is the main raw material of”shelling hormone”;This product is applicable to the artificial breeding of shrimp,crab and other aquatic crustaceans and ground holding insects.After adding this product,shrimp and crab can be shelled smoothly,promoting the consistency of shrimp and crab shelling,effectively avoiding killing each other among individuals,and significantly improving the survival rate of breeding and commodity specifications.

2.Agricultural applications

Ecdysterone can promote the molting and metamorphosis of insects.High dose ecdysterone can disrupt the normal metabolic process in insects,making insects molt or metamorphose early and become micro adults or deformed individuals.Insects are quite sensitive to ecdysterone,which can cause sterility in light cases and death in severe cases.
