NOVEL CHITIN/DEMINERALISED DEHYDRATED CHITINACEOUS/CRUSTACEAN EXOSKELETON-BASED FORMULATION CONTAINING MICROBES THAT GENERATE CHITINASE/PROTEASE ENZYMES

摘要

The invention is a new product where the chitin or demineralised dehydrated chitinaceous / crustacean exoskeleton acts as a substrate for the microbes and also induces the production of chitinase / protease enzymes. The enzymes will act on the chitinaceous exoskeleton of pathogenic insects and fungus providing pesticidal activity. This invention also brings out a novel product which comprises of chitin or demineralised dehydrated chitinaceous / crustacean exoskeleton with chitinase / protease enzymes along with microbes that produce chitnase/protease enzymes.
