In the field of agricultural production, the pursuit of high-quality agricultural products has always been the unremitting pursuit of many practitioners and researchers. In recent years, with its unique chemical characteristics, dimethyl urea has emerged in improving the quality of agricultural products and brought new opportunities for agricultural development.
Dimethyl Urea Improves Fruit Sweetness and Flavor
The sweetness and flavor of fruit are the key indexes to measure its quality. Dimethyl urea has a significant positive effect in this respect. It can regulate photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism in plants. In the process of photosynthesis, dimethyl urea promotes the capture and transformation of light energy by plant leaves, improves photosynthetic efficiency, and makes more carbon dioxide be fixed and converted into carbohydrates.
At the same time, it can also affect the transport and distribution of sugar in plants. For example, in grape planting, the rational use of dimethyl urea can promote the sugar produced by leaves to be transported and accumulated to the fruit more efficiently. The results showed that the soluble sugar content of the grapes treated with dimethylurea was increased by [X]% compared with the untreated group, and the taste was sweeter and the flavor was stronger. Dimethyl urea also plays an important role in strawberry planting, which can improve the sweetness of strawberry fruit and increase the synthesis of aroma substances, so that strawberries emit more attractive fruit fragrance, greatly improving the consumer's eating experience.
Dimethyl Urea Increases the Nutrient Content of Agricultural Products
In addition to improving the taste and flavor, dimethyl urea can also help agricultural products accumulate more nutrients. Taking vegetables as an example, in the process of spinach planting, the content of vitamin C in spinach leaves was significantly increased after using dimethyl urea. This is because dimethyl urea participates in the antioxidant defense system of spinach, promotes the expression of genes related to vitamin C synthesis, and greatly improves the nutritional value of spinach.
In terms of food crops, dimethylurea also has outstanding performance. In rice planting, it can promote the absorption and utilization of key nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the soil, and then increase the contents of protein and starch in rice grains. According to the experimental data, the protein content and starch content of rice treated with dimethyl increased by [X]%, which not only improved the taste of rice, but also enhanced its nutritional value, and met people's demand for healthy staple food.
