Introduction To The Functions Of Amino Acids (Fertilizers)

Amino acid fertilizer uses plant amino acids as the substrate and utilizes its huge surface activity and adsorption and retention capacity. When used as fertilizer, it will add some trace elements (calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc, etc.) needed for plant growth and development. Boron, molybdenum, etc.), organic and inorganic complexes formed through chelation (complexation); it can not only maintain the slow release and full utilization of large amounts of elements, but also ensure the stable and long-term effect of trace elements; it can enhance plant respiration, It has the good effect of improving the redox process of plants and promoting the metabolism of plants. At the same time, it can also promote photosynthesis and the formation of chlorophyll, and can significantly promote and activate physiological and biochemical processes such as oxidative enzyme activity, seed germination, nutrient absorption, and root growth and development. In particular, its affinity with plants is unmatched by any other substance.
Overall, the functions of amino acids are as follows:
① Provide basic components for protein synthesis.
② Provide high-quality nitrogen sources, carbon sources and energy for plants.
③ Provide nutrients for rhizosphere microorganisms (saprotrophs).
④ Passivates a variety of heavy metal elements, reduces their toxic side effects, and reduces fertilizer damage; it also has a certain inhibitory effect on nitrates.
⑤ Stress resistance: Improve the tolerance of crops to drought, high temperature, salt stress, etc. In particular, small molecule peptides (a small amount of amino acid polymers) can scavenge free radicals, resist oxidation, and resist heavy metal poisoning, and are extremely effective in repairing crop diseases.
⑥ Complexes (chelates) a variety of medium and trace elements to provide plants with stable chelated (complexed) mineral elements (calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, iron, etc.), which can be quickly absorbed and utilized by plants.
