科学家在研究自然界一些植物蜡和虫蜡中,发现了一种对植物生长有刺激作用的物质。这种物质是由三十个碳原子组成的长碳链脂肪醇,因此叫它三十烷醇。三十烷醇具有来源广、用量少、效果大、使用方便、无毒性、无公害、能提高种子发芽率、促进作物生长、增加产量等优点,被称之为新型的植物生长调节剂。1978年,厦门大学成功地从蜂蜡中分离出结晶的三十烷醇,并进行了大田试验,证明它对多种作物有较强的生理活性和一定的增产效果。全国二十五个省、市、自治区 Scientists in the study of some plant wax and insect wax in nature, found a plant growth stimulating substances. This substance is a long carbon chain fatty alcohol composed of thirty carbon atoms, hence its triacontanol. Triacontanol has the advantages of wide source, low dosage, large effect, convenient use, non-toxicity, pollution-free, improved seed germination rate, promoted crop growth and increased yield. It is called as a new plant growth regulator. In 1978, Xiamen University successfully isolated the crystalline triacontanol from beeswax, and conducted field experiments to prove that it has a strong physiological activity on a variety of crops and a certain yield increase.
