For now, Chitosan oligosaccharide is widely used in
Seed Pretreatment – Enhancing disease resistance and strengthening seedlings.
Soil Treatment – Preventing harmful pathogens and nematodes, improving soil condition, and stimulating root growth.
Foliar Spraying – Inducing crops’ immunity to stress and diseases.
Specification of Dora Chitosan Oligosaccharide
Dora Sailor is a product based on chitosan oligosaccharide. Its ingredient is COS (Chitosan Oligosaccharide), which is derived through an enzymatic hydrolysis process. This product features outstanding water solubility, high biological activity, and is easily absorbed and utilized by crops.

Dora Chitosan Oligosaccharide Benefits
1. Increase Seed Germination
After seed treatment, COS can not only improve seed vigor and germination rates but also stimulate the seed’s immune and growth systems, thereby enhancing disease resistance and growth rates.
It has been demonstrated that when applied to ryegrass seed, COS increases the germination index by 33.5% and the vitality index by 59.5%.
2. Increase Immunity Ability to Stress & Diseases
For stress, chitosan oligosaccharide can induce a general regulation of endogenous hormones in plants.
- It improves the plant’s water-retaining capacity,
- Increases resistance to cold and drought,
- Helps damaged plants recover.
For diseases, chitosan oligosaccharide can thicken the plant’s cell walls and rapidly induce defense reactions against a variety of viruses, fungi, and bacteria.
Especially with viral diseases, chitosan oligosaccharide can prevent the occurrence of viral infections and inhibit the spread of the virus to new leaves during an outbreak.
3. Improve Soil Micro-environment
To control harmful nematodes, applying Chitosan oligosaccharide to the soil is sufficient. This substance can stimulate the proliferation of chitinolytic microbes that degrade the cuticle of nematode eggs.
To increase the growth of plant-beneficial rhizobacteria, apply Chitosan oligosaccharide (COS). Upon application, beneficial microbes can proliferate rapidly and their activity becomes stimulated, greatly contributing to the development of a healthy soil micro-environment.
4. Promote the growth of Stems, Leaves and Fruits
The use of chitosan oligosaccharide enhances plant photosynthesis, increasing their photosynthetic rate and efficiency. For instance, treating ryegrass seedlings with a chitosan oligosaccharide solution improves the chlorophyll and soluble protein content.
Consequently, plants typically exhibit strong stem nodes, larger leaves, vibrant coloration, and vigorous, robust growth. Following the application of chitosan, the fruit set rate of eggplant, as well as other vegetables and fruit trees, generally improves, along with an increase in the weight of individual fruits.
How to use Dora Chitosan Oligosaccharide
1. Optimal Use Concentration
Dora Sailor Powder
Seed Treatment: 5g for 100-200Ibs seeds
Foliar Spray: 25-50g/ha per time, total 3-5 times
Water Flush: 200g per 1000L water per hectare
Dora Sailor Liquid
Seed Treatment: 50ml for 100-200Ibs seeds
Foliar Spray: 200-500ml/ha per time, total 3-5 times
Water Flush: 350ML per 1000L water per hectare
2. Optimum Use Time
During the critical growth periods of crops, which encompass the seeding, seedling, pre-planting, post-planting, pre-flowering, expansion, and grouting phases.
Before or at the onset of adverse conditions, including cold stress, drought, waterlogging, and disease.
3. Onset Time & Effect Duration
Onset time: ＜30 minutes
Valid period: 24-36 hours
Effect Duration: 7-9 days
4. Safety of using Chitosan Oligosaccharide
(1) Excessive use may temporarily delay the growth of crops, but they will recover within a few days without suffering reduced yields or irreversible damage.
(2) Destructive tests on apples indicate that usage at levels 5 to 10 times the recommended amount is still safe for the crops.

FAQ
Yes, Dora chitosan oligosaccharide is obtained by degrading chitosan by lactate(more environmental friendly), it’s weakly acidic.
We don’t suggest mix Dora COS with highly alkaline chemical pesticides. Formulate method suggestion: Add water first, then put in COS or other ingredients, mix together evenly, add another ingredient, mix evenly.
Normally shelf life is two years after it liquified with water or other water based carriers. And we suggest to add a little preservative.
According to 8% or 10% Ningnanmycin. Chitosan oligosaccharide: Ningnanmycin ratio 1:9 and then diluted with water 2000 times.
