On a summer afternoon in 1933, Dr. Zhang of the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was engrossed in the laboratory observing a sample of his newly extracted compound. Through the microscope, Dr. Zhang noticed that the pale yellow crystals in the sample refracted in the sunlight with a fascinating luster, crystal clear and beautiful.
Intuitively, Dr. Zhang decided to do some experiments with this sample. He treated several pots of experimental corn and wheat seeds with samples and waited patiently for them to germinate.
In order to confirm the results, Dr. Zhang conducted treatment tests on various crops such as tomatoes and cucumbers.
After reviewing the literature, Dr. Zhang finally confirmed the name of the compound, triacosanol. He was so excited that he immediately decided to devote more time to studying triacosanol, its mechanism of action and application prospects.
A serendipitous discovery led him to uncover the magical secret of helping the harvest. Dr. Cheung has strengthened his belief in scientific research and exploration, and he knows that as long as he works hard, he will be able to uncover more valuable results that benefit society.
Although Dr. Zhang was ecstatic to discover triacosanol, there is still a long way to go before it can be applied to agricultural production. In the 30s of the last century, the scientific research conditions were limited, and Dr. Zhang needed to design a large number of experiments to verify the safety and efficacy of triasanol.
Dr. Zhang has persistently conducted hundreds of trials and accumulated a large amount of data. At the same time, he also published a paper on triacosanol, hoping to be recognized by industry experts.
However, at that time, the mainstream view was that synthetic chemicals could be harmful to the human body and the environment, and Dr. Zhang's research did not go well.
Time flies, and decades have passed in the flick of a finger. At the beginning of the 21st century, with the advancement of science and technology, people's prejudice against chemically synthesized products gradually weakened.
Dr. Zhang started from scratch and the vast amount of evidence he had accumulated was finally recognized. In 2007, triacosanol was finally officially registered by the Chinese government.
The long wait of 74 years has sent ripples through Dr. Zhang's heart. He was deeply moved by his persistent perseverance and natural wisdom. When youth and passion gradually retreat, perseverance is the golden key to open the door to success.
Dr. Zhang is extremely relieved that he has lived up to this time.
After receiving the recognition, the excellent properties of triaconol were gradually recognized. It turns out that triasanol can activate polyphenol oxidase in plants, thereby playing a role in regulating growth and development.
Specifically, triasanol can promote seed germination and rooting, so that stems and leaves grow faster; It can increase chlorophyll and improve the efficiency of photosynthesis; It also helps crops absorb minerals and increase protein and sugar, which in turn improves yield and quality.
The data showed that wheat yields increased by 16 percent compared to the control group after spraying triasanol, while corn yields increased by 20 percent. What's even more surprising is that triasanol is not only effective for food crops, but also on vegetables, fruits and even various cash crops, it can play a lasting and stable growth-promoting effect.
Dr. Zhang watched the triacosanol he cultivated "out of the circle", from being regarded as a heresy to being known by everyone, from a niche to the public, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. He knows that his research is not meaningless, but an important driving force for the benefit of society.
At this moment, Dr. Zhang is sincerely pleased with his persistence.
Despite its efficacy, triasanol is also crucial when used correctly. Mr. Xu, an agricultural technician, summed up three precautions based on his rich experience.
First, don't increase the amount of use. Triaconol exists in an optimal concentration, and excessive amounts can inhibit plant growth. Excessive concentration can lead to leaf deformity, which must be strictly controlled when used.
Second, the liquid triacosanol needs to be formulated into a homogeneous microemulsion in order to be fully effective. It must be shaken well before use to avoid uneven efficacy.
Third, in case of rainfall after spraying, it is necessary to supplement the application in time to ensure the efficacy.
"As long as you master the correct way to use it, triacosanol can play a multiplier effect with half the effort!" Teacher Xu said.
Dr. Zhang listened to the advice of this "senior" and compiled the precautions into the instructions for the use of triacosanol. He knows that the significance of scientific research lies in application, and hopes that his efforts can truly benefit farmers and help harvest a bumper harvest.
What are the unique advantages of triasanol over the well-known brassin?
Studies have shown that triasanol has a faster onset of action. Within 10 minutes of treatment, the uptake and utilization of crops increased significantly. Brassin, on the other hand, needs to be transformed, and it takes a long time for the drug to appear.
However, triasanol has a shorter duration of action. It rapidly stimulates the production of chlorophyll in plants, but does not maintain high chlorophyll levels for as long as brassin.
Overall, triacosanol is suitable for applications that require rapid results, such as germination and growth promotion. Brassin, on the other hand, is more suitable for those who need long-lasting effects, such as anti-aging.
Dr. Zhang was intrigued by the results of the comparison. He believes that the pros and cons are not bad, and that it is important to choose the best medicine according to the needs of the plant and the purpose of increasing production.
The two agents can complement each other and work together to increase agricultural yields. Dr. Zhang firmly believes that the significance of scientific research is to serve production and create a richer life for mankind.
After decades, triasanol has finally moved from a niche to the public and has been widely used in agricultural production. It helps us realize that the value of life lies in perseverance in faith.
Triaconol is excellent because it easily activates the growth potential of plants to thrive. In the same way, tapping into one's own potential also requires persistence and motivation.
When we encounter setbacks in our lives, we should remember Dr. Zhang, the discoverer of triacosanol, and follow his example to constantly improve ourselves. As long as you have hope and persistence, you will definitely see the dawn of harvest.
Let's face life with a positive attitude and savor the bits and pieces of life.
