Sodium bicarbonate, also known as acidic sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, baking soda, heavy alkali, baking soda, is an acidic salt formed after neutralization of a strong base and a weak acid. Neutralize stomach acid, its antacid effect is weak and short-lived. In addition, it also has the effect of alkalization. It is suitable for hyperacidity, indigestion and alkalization of urine, etc.; intravenous administration for acidosis; external ear drops for softening dandruff; 2% solution sitz bath for fungal vaginitis. In veterinary medicine, it is mainly used to treat gastrointestinal catarrhal inflammation, sepsis and severe diarrhea, extensive burns, neutralize gastric acid and alkalinize urine, etc.; spraying sodium bicarbonate in the greenhouse can prevent diseases and increase production . For many diseases, such as cucumber powdery mildew, anthracnose, tomato leaf mold, etc., the pathogenic bacteria are difficult to survive under alkaline conditions. Using 500 times baking soda to dissolve the above diseases has a good effect. In addition, carbon dioxide is the raw material for photosynthesis. Due to the airtightness of the greenhouse, carbon dioxide is often insufficient. The carbon dioxide can be replenished after spraying baking soda to decompose. It can be sprayed once every 3-4 days during the growth of vegetables; adding an appropriate amount of sodium bicarbonate to livestock and poultry feed can effectively improve the digestibility of livestock and poultry to feed, improve the egg production rate and eggshell strength of laying hens, Accelerate the utilization of nutrients and the excretion of harmful substances, increase the speed of livestock and poultry weight gain; keep the resistance and immunity of livestock and poultry in the best state, improve the anti-stress ability of livestock and poultry, and play a role in the prevention of livestock and poultry diseases, ensuring its healthy growth has a positive effect.
