Abstract
The present invention describes a protein guarantor composition and its application, in particular to improving the protein content of cereals. The protein guarantor composition containing urea as nitrogen source and incorporating deacylated chitin proves noteworthy, by virtue of the increase in the protein content of the grain. This composition does not cause harmful scorching of the foliage and its apparent use coefficient for nitrogen is much better than that of the nitrogen fertilizers applied to the soil.
