14 Claims

1. A plant vitalizer comprising:

at least one amino acid or its salt, wherein the at least one amino acid is glycine;

a chitin oligosaccharide; and

at least one oligosaccharide selected from the group consisting of a cellooligosaccharide and a xylooligosaccharide,

wherein the chitin oligosaccharide and the at least one oligosaccharide are the only oligosaccharides in the plant vitalizer, and

the total content of the chitin oligosaccharide and the at least one oligosaccharide in the plant vitalizer is 5 to 10 mass %,

wherein the chitin oligosaccharide is a chemically or enzymatically modified chitin, and

wherein the chitin oligosaccharide comprises a compound of

wherein some of acetyl groups (COCH₃) of the compound are shed, leaving NH₂groups, and a percentage of deacetylation is no greater than 30% of a total chitin oligosaccharide.
