Great video, love your other videos too! And wow in terms of percentage of weight it is actually a lot, interesting, I'll be trying this, I hadn't heard or read about msg as fertilizer, would you recommend a little bit more in terms of concentration or would there be bad side effects to it?
Hello, this is Algae. I'm glad that my video seems to have impressed and inspired you :) Recent studies have revealed that MSG can be used as a fertilizer. However, MSG has a fatal flaw. That is, MSG is not economically efficient to use as a fertilizer. To overcome this problem, a plan to utilize the wastewater discharged from the MSG production process is being considered. MSG is mainly produced by fermentation, pure purification from fermented raw materials. Even after MSG is extracted from fermented raw materials, the waste still contains MSG. Scientists seem to be mainly working on ways to use the MSG contained in this waste as a fertilizer. Therefore, MSG, which we can easily purchase from the market, is an inefficient fertilizer considering its cost-effectiveness. I used 0.6% MSG solution in the video. The reason is that plant growth was inhibited when the solution of the concentration suggested in the referenced paper was used. I think the conflicting results were probably due to the slight difference between the solution the researchers used and the solution I made. However, in my personal opinion, I think it may have been damaged by osmotic pressure. Personally, I think 1% is the maximum concentration of MSG solution that beginners can use. MSG is an organic substance because it is an amino acid. Therefore, it is a material that can be utilized not only by plants but also by microorganisms such as bacteria. The wrong use of MSG can cause odors from the soil in your pots and gardens. Therefore, if you want to use MSG as a fertilizer, you must use a very small amount or the cycle time between uses should be long. In conclusion, I do not recommend using MSG as a fertilizer. MSG is economically inefficient and inconvenient to use. However, if you can get wastewater from a MSG production plant, it might be worth considering using it on an industrial scale grain farm. I hope my answer was helpful to you. Have a good day :)
Hello i have an question, we will be using msg fertilizer in our research, and the parameters of our research is the fruit itself(tomato), it's leaves, and the weight, can i ask how did u come up with the 32 percent? How did u solve that, as well for the error? I appreciate it so much thank u
Hello this is Algae. Thank you for leaving an interesting question :) And I apologize for the delay in my response. Due to my recent schedule related to academic activities, I have not been able to quickly respond to the many questions left on my channel. Anyway, I simply measured the weight of the shoot. And I tried to control environmental factors other than MSG to prevent them from influencing the results (I tried to provide the same conditions for factors other than MSG). Personally, I think the way to reduce errors is to increase the number and amount of samples and strictly follow the sample standards for measuring values. I don't study tomatoes, but if I were you I would collect data such as total fruit weight from a single plant, weight of each fruit, leaf length (including petiole length), leaf width, shoot weight, root weight, etc. And I think it is appropriate to conduct this on at least 10 plants for each environmental condition (test condition). Was the concentration of MSG considered in the design of the experiment? If you want to evaluate the effect of MSG on tomatoes, all factors (e.g. light, temperature) other than MSG concentration conditions must be controlled and sufficient facilities and space must be prepared. Many previous studies have been published on wastewater generated after producing MSG to apply it as fertilizer for crops. I think referring to them will also be helpful to you. Have a good day :)
Hello, this is Algae. You left an interesting question! Theoretically, it is likely that MSG could have a positive effect on the growth of aquascape plants. However, this seems to be possible only when a sterile space is provided. MSG is an organic substance, not an inorganic substance. Therefore, microorganisms such as bacteria can use it together. In my opinion, it is expected that the amount of MSG absorbed by microorganisms will be greater than the amount of MSG absorbed by the aquascape plant. Abnormal increases in microbes can cause odors and affect other aquatic life by changing pH and dissolved oxygen levels. If you are growing fish with an aquascape plant, using MSG as a fertilizer doesn't seem like a good idea. So personally I don't think it's positive to use MSG as fertilizer for aquascape plants. Although MSG can help plants grow, MSG is not suitable as a fertilizer in terms of cost-performance ratio. If you want to use MSG as fertilizer, I recommend you to use very cheap MSG or discarded MSG as fertilizer. Have a good day :)
Hello, this is Algae. Thanks for the great ideas. Your assumptions about sodium and potassium-related transport are theoretically valid. However, it seems difficult to conclude unless it is verified through experiments on how the sodium contained in MSG works inside the plant's body (and cell). From the results I got, it seems that MSG helped the lettuce growth (weight gain). The application of MSG to coconut (palm tree) also seems to be an interesting topic. However, it is very difficult to find coconut suitable for use as a seed in Korea. Therefore, experimenting with MSG to coconut is a difficult task for me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Have a nice day :)
안녕하세요 Algae입니다. ㅇㅇㅇ 님, 흥미로운 질문 남겨주셔서 감사합니다 :) 시도 해본 적은 없지만, 치킨스톡을 비료로 사용하면 화분에서 강한 악취가 풍기리라 생각됩니다. 정제된 MSG 또한 유기물이기에, 장기간 용액상태로 방치하면 악취가 생깁니다. 만약 다양한 유기물이 혼합되어 있는 치킨스톡을 사용한다면, 참기 힘든 악취로 고생하실 것 같습니다. 따라서, 호기심으로 인해 험난할 지도 모를 도전을 선택하지 마시길 바랍니다. 좋은 하루 되세요 :)

how about as hydroponic solution?

Wonder what if i tried it with aquascape plant..

I was more interested in the root growth.
Arent you adding sodium and blocking the pottasium uptake channels..try MSG as fertilizer for coconut it should work

치킨스톡을 사용해도되나요?
안녕하세요 Algae입니다.
ㅇㅇㅇ 님, 흥미로운 질문 남겨주셔서 감사합니다 :)
시도 해본 적은 없지만, 치킨스톡을 비료로 사용하면 화분에서 강한 악취가 풍기리라 생각됩니다.
정제된 MSG 또한 유기물이기에, 장기간 용액상태로 방치하면 악취가 생깁니다.
만약 다양한 유기물이 혼합되어 있는 치킨스톡을 사용한다면, 참기 힘든 악취로 고생하실 것 같습니다.
따라서, 호기심으로 인해 험난할 지도 모를 도전을 선택하지 마시길 바랍니다.
좋은 하루 되세요 :)
