Researchers from Chungbuk National University in South Korea investigated chitosan and its potential as a carrier of bacteria that promote plant growth. The results of their study were published in the journal Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science.
In conclusion, chitosan can promote plant growth better than alginate and is a better carrier for bacteria that promote plant growth.
