Applications

In sericulture breeding, ecdysone is used to shorten the age of silkworms, make the upper clusters tidy, and promote silking and cocooning.
Ecdysone is a substance necessary for the growth and development of aquatic crustaceans - shrimps and crabs, and is the main raw material of the "shelling element"; ecdysone is suitable for the artificial breeding of shrimps, crabs and other aquatic crustaceans and ground stiflers, after adding the product can make shrimps and crabs shed their shells smoothly to promote the consistency of shrimps and crabs shed their shells, effectively avoiding mutual mutilation between individuals, significantly improving the survival rate of breeding and commercial specifications.
