My experience is from someone who actually developed Chitosan. He saw the anti-fungal properties (Developed from Blue Crab Shells) as way of making fungicide applications safer.There were more positive aspects to this.Enhanced plant growth better ability to fight off pathogens etc... Don't know that it ever took off in the retail Market though. Art
The problem is that the horticultural market is rife with the proverbial snake oil salesmen and patents often don't work. The claims made for chitosan are similar to those made for Messenger, but, at least Messenger doesn't cost $99.99 to evaluate. Pricing at $99.99 instead of $100 suggests that they are trying to market to suckers.
Dang!!! I think the likelihood of that product being 99.75% snakeoil (coincidentally, the same percentage as they list for other ingredients) is about 99.75%. LOL
