What is amino acid fertilizer?
Amino acid fertilizer is a type of fertilizer that contains amino acids as its main source of nutrients. Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as building blocks for proteins and are essential for plant growth and development.
Amino acid fertilizers can be derived from both animal and plant sources, such as fish waste, soybean meal, or feather meal. They are typically available in liquid form and can be applied to plants through foliar spraying or soil application.
These fertilizers provide plants with readily available nitrogen, which is crucial for their overall health. Amino acids also help improve nutrient uptake, enhance photosynthesis, promote root development, increase pest resistance, and boost the production of enzymes and hormones in plants.
Overall, amino acid fertilizers are considered beneficial because they provide a balanced supply of nutrients while also improving the soil structure and increasing the availability of other essential minerals to plants.
Different production process amino acid fertilizer.
But how to produce these amino acid fertilizers? As a professional amino acid fertilizer manufacturer, here are the steps.
HCL hydrolysate
Normally, there are three ways to produce amino acid fertilizer. The raw materials might be soybean animal fur and so on. One is HCL hydrolysate, this is the most popular way in the market. It uses HCL to hydrolysate protein, adjust the PH, concentration, filtration, and spray to powder.
In this way, the powder will have a NH4CL in the powder, because it will use NH4OH to adjust the PH. HCL+NH4OH=NH4CL+H2O. In this way product, it will have high free amino acids but have chloride. The higher the content of amino acid, the lower the content of chloride.
Popular product:
Amino acid 80% powder
Free amino acid: more than 75%
Total nitrogen: more than 13%
100% water soluble
Amino acid liquid 30%
Free amino acid: more than 300g/L
Chloride: less than 1%
Na: less than 1%
NH4: less than 1%
SO4: less than 1%
H2SO4 hydrolysate
Another one is H2SO4 hydrolysate. Same with the HCL hydrolysate manufacturer process. But it is used a little, the cost is higher than HCL hydrolysate, so market products in this manufacturing process are used less.
Popular product
Amino acid 45% powder (H2SO4)
Total amino acid: more than 45%
Enzymatic
The final one is the enzymatic manufacturing process. This way are no chemicals in it, and as a result, chloride content is very low. This way meets organic input standards, no chemicals, and it is very popular used on organic farms.
Popular product
OMRI list amino acid 16-0-0
Total amino acid: more than 85%
Amino acid organic nitrogen: 16-0-0
Organic matter: more than 90%
100% water soluble and 1KG can soluble in 1L water
OMRI list amino acid liquid 8-0-0
Total amino acid: more than 50%
Amino acid organic nitrogen:8-0-0(can higher to 9-0-0)
Organic matter: more than 60%
Different market popular products
For different needs, different markets choose different products. Some markets prefer high-free amino acids just like in China, Amino acid soluble fertilizer in the market must meet the standard free amino acid of more than 100g/L. Many countries check the product on free amino acid content. In this way, HCL hydrolysate amino acid products are the best way, because HCL hydrolysate products contain high free amino acids. Some countries check the products on amino acid organic nitrogen, it must meet organic input standards, for example in North America. Then enzymatic amino acid fertilizer can be the choice like the OMRI list amino acid 14-0-0 16-0-0 and liquid 8-0-0.
