What are tea saponins?
Tea seed saponin, a glycoside compound derived from camellia seeds or tea seeds. Saponin is an excellent natural non-ionic surfactant. It is widely used as an adjuvant of pesticide, fungicide, herbicide in agriculture now. Tea saponin is an eco-friendly product that can degrade automatically with no hazardous residue left. HLB value is about 16. It has good functions of foaming, foam stabilization, emulsification, and wetting.
HJ HERB is a professional tea saponin supplier in china. Tea seed saponin is a highly efficient natural surfactant that finds widespread applications in various fields such as light industry, chemical industry, pesticides, animal feed, aquaculture, textiles, oil extraction, mining, construction materials, and highway construction. They are proven to be effective natural surfactants for the remediation of contaminated soils.
Tea Saponin Powder Features
1. Surface tension and Critical micelle Concentration
The CMC of tea saponin is about 0.5%, and the surface tension is about 42.1 mN/m. In general, it should be slightly larger than CMC in order to fully play its role.
2. Foaming and foam stability
Configure tea saponin solutions with different mass fractions, pour into a graduated cylinder with a stopper, and turn it upside down 30 times (2s each time), put it on the table, record the foam height at the beginning and the foam height after 30 minutes, repeat 3 times ,take the average.

3. Compounding with pesticides
- Monosultap and tea saponin have a synergistic effect on leafhoppers and slime worms after 3: 1 mixing.
- Malathion and tea saponin have a synergistic effect on leafhoppers and aphids after 4: 1 mixing.
- Beta-cypermethrin and tea saponins have a synergistic effect on the vegetable aphid after 1: 5 mixing.
- Benzoxan and tea saponin have a synergistic effect on inhibiting the growth of cucumber mycelium after 1: 4 mixing.
- Tea saponin also has obvious synergistic effects when mixed with various insecticides such as metronidyl, nisolamide, tachylone, nicotine, tripterygium, Bt, and Tolk.
What will plants benefit from Tea Saponin?
1.Tea saponin can be used as adjuvants in making agrochemical EC formulations.
2.Tea saponin helps to reduce soil erosion and enhance the soil structure.
3.Tea saponin helps to reduce the incidence of pests and diseases in plants.
4. Tea saponin helps to improve the overall health of the plants.
How to Use Tea Saponin\Tea Seed Meal Powder?
1. Agrochemical auxiliary's area
It is an excellent agent and natural surfactant for liquid and water-soluble pesticide. Saponin can self-degradable, and non-toxic. During the separation process it will not impact the chemical property of the pesticide and lasting the effect of the pesticide. Saponin is wildly used in the herbicide (such as Glyphosate), and insecticides (such as Bisultap). Especially for Glyphosate, saponin can improve the adhesive force and wet absorption. Meanwhile enhance the penetration and biological activity of Glyphosate. It can reduce the dosage of pure herbicides to 50%-70%.
2. Molluscicide area
It is an organic molluscicide without any potential harm to human, animals and environment. It is largely applied in rice field to kill snails, especially Golden Apple Snail with good efficacy. It also can ensure high harvest and top quality of rice without accumulated harmful elements.
3. Aquaculture area
It is extensively used in aquaculture to eliminate unwanted fish and harmful insects in the fish and prawn ponds. Help shrimps take off shell earlier and enhance the growth of shrimps. Detoxify quickly in water and are not injurious to cattle and people who may use the water. Leave no cumulative adverse residues, and it is readily available, economical to use. It can prevent the black-gill shrimp disease and control parasites as well as improve the ecdysis and growing. It can be made for pond-cleaning agent on the account of hemolysis and fish poison functions. In livestock breeding, it can reduce the level of cholesterol inside the animals and develop low-cholesterol animal products.
Versatile Application in Agriculture
1. Environmentally Friendly Pesticide Additives
Tea saponin can be used as environmentally friendly pesticide additives, can be widely used in the production of pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, etc., to achieve solubilization and efficiency, reduce toxicity. And used as an agrochemical adjuvant to improve the suspending rate and reduce the dosage. Tea saponin itself is also a good biopesticide, can also stimulate crop growth. Prevention of underground pests and does not cause soil pollution, which is conducive to environmental protection.
2. Clean Shrimp Pond
Tea saponin has ichthyotoxic and hemolytic effects to eliminate harmful fish and harmful insects in shrimp ponds.
Helps shrimp shed their shells earlier and promotes the growth of shrimp and crabs. Detoxifies quickly in the water and is harmless to cattle and people who may use the water. Does not leave any accumulated undesirable residue and is readily available and economical to use Because of its hemolytic effect and fish poisoning function (3ppm will produce good results), it can be made into a pond cleaner to kill unwanted fish but is harmless to shrimp (safe concentration is 20ppm).
3. Lawn Environmental Regulator
Pesticides are used extensively each year in the maintenance of golf course turf, and these pesticides can spread into the air and run off with rain or sprinkles into nearby rivers, lakes, and other waters. Pesticides can also leach into groundwater or be absorbed by crops and target organisms, which can pose a significant threat to the biological environment.
Tea saponin can kill pests and control worms alone and can improve the utilization of other pesticides. Mixing tea saponin powder with chemical pesticides can greatly improve the insecticidal effect. Tea saponin insecticide is very effective in repelling and killing snails in turf, etc., where saponins play an important role in improving its effectiveness. However, mixing tea saponin with other chemical fertilizer pesticides will be more effective in preventing and killing worms and vegetable moths.
