During this typhoon, farmers from Jiaxing Village in Fenyuan Township, Changhua County, reported that they used an air sprayer with plant protection silica before the storm. The Tainan 11 rice variety they cultivated showed remarkable resistance to lodging, significantly reducing the damage caused by the typhoon.

Three major applications of Diamond Quantum's Bacillus subtilis 151B1 strain:

A. In plants: It promotes the growth of various plants, enhances yield and quality, possesses multiple enzyme activities, phosphorus solubilizing activity, and the ability to produce the plant growth hormone indole acetic acid. It also has the ability to prevent bacterial and fungal diseases in plants and can degrade pesticides such as Malathion and Dichlorvos, as well as the fungicide Thiabendazole.
B. In livestock: It improves the feeding efficiency of piglets and meat pigs, reduces the content of hydrogen sulfide and thiols in feces, thus lowering odor, improves the overall environment of the breeding area, and reduces the number of potential pathogenic E. coli in the intestines of pigs, among other applications in livestock breeding.
C. In aquaculture: It can enhance the fullness of fish, increase meat yield, improve feed efficiency, effectively inhibit intestinal pathogens, reduce fish disease incidence, improve water quality in breeding environments, decrease organic matter in water, adjust the biological composition of algae in the water, and alter the gut microbiota of fish, among other applications in aquaculture.

When the Dia-Agri team visited the Fresh Strawberry Gardens in A Lian, Kaohsiung, they encountered a severe issue of strawberry anthracnose. This fungal infection has a latent period of several months and can cause crop losses of up to seventy percent once infected. Controlling anthracnose requires frequent removal of diseased plants and extensive pesticide use, posing adverse effects on both the environment and farmers' health.

Recently, the Dia-Agri team visited a passion fruit orchard in Gaoshu Township, Pingtung County. They adopted non-toxic cultivation practices, utilizing nano-calcium silicon fertilizer and Bacillus subtilis 151B1 liquid fertilizer. This management approach resulted in robust growth of passion fruit plants, abundant fruit yield, and sturdy stems capable of withstanding dramatic temperature changes, preventing premature fruit drop. Moreover, the resilient fruit skins resist anthracnose infection, exemplifying the use of environmentally friendly materials in passion fruit cultivation.

Since its establishment, DIAMOND QUANTUM has steadfastly adhered to the belief in "agricultural food safety and health," dedicating itself to providing technological support for agricultural production and fulfilling corporate social responsibility. In this collaboration with National Chung Hsing University, the joint development of microorganisms and the application of nanotechnology have led to the successful development of nano-calcium silicon fertilizer, which is now being applied in tea tree cultivation management.

Representing Taiwanese enterprises, Taiwan's Diamond Quantum Biotech Co., Ltd., partnered with Taiwan University Agricultural Technology (Jilin Province) Co., Ltd. Tai Mao, as a representative of Taiwanese enterprises, actively promoted its high-tech products developed in Taiwan, such as nanoscale calcium silicon fertilizers, liquid organic fertilizers, and soil conditioners, into the mainland market. These products effectively address issues like soil acidification and insufficient trace elements in arable land, concurrently enhancing both the quantity and quality of agricultural products. Their commitment lies in fostering a non-toxic and environmentally friendly agricultural environment.

This trip to Jiangsu not only strengthened cooperation between Taiwan and agricultural enterprises in Jiangsu but also opened up new opportunities for cross-strait agricultural technology exchange. In the future, DIAMOND Group will continue to dedicate itself to the research and development of innovative technologies, promoting the common development of agriculture across the strait.
