Saponins extract

Soil improvement:

Yucca extract, which is rich in saponins, offers several benefits for soil health:

Improved soil structure: Saponins help to merge sand particles and breakdown clay particles, which increases soil porosity and improves air and water infiltration.
Increased nutrient absorption: The natural surfactants in yucca saponins help remove the waxy layer of plant roots, making it easier for plants to absorb nutrients.
Plant stress reduction: Yucca extract can help reduce stress from drought, heat, and salinity, which promotes overall plant growth and health.

Using yucca extract is an eco-friendly way to improve soil health and can be applied at any time of the year, although it is most effective in the spring or fall.


Insecticide:

Saponins are effective against insects both in the garden and indoors. Saponins are natural substances produced by many plants and have several properties that deter insects:

Bitter taste: Insects find the bitter taste of saponins unpleasant, saponins can irritate the mucous membranes of insects, which further discourages them from feeding on the plants.
Reproductive disruption: Saponins can disrupt the reproductive cycle of fruit flies, reducing their population.


Protection against bacteria and fungi: In addition to deterring insects, saponins also help protect plants from bacteria and fungi.


Saponins, the perfect preventative against bacterial infections, viral infections, fungal infections and other undesirable micro-organisms. Saponins are effective against bacteria, viruses and fungal infections. Here are some of the ways they work:

Antibacterial properties: Saponins can inhibit the growth of certain bacteria by disrupting their cell membranes.

Antiviral activity: Although research is still limited, some studies suggest that saponins may have antiviral properties by hindering virus replication.
Antifungal activity: Saponins can damage the cell membranes of fungi, which prevents their growth and spread.

All these properties make saponins useful for plants to protect themselves from various pathogens. For humans, saponins can also provide benefits, for example in the form of natural remedies or as an additive to cleaning products.
