Amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins and fulfill a variety of functions in plants, including structural metabolism and transport. Amino acid fertilizer is manufactured by HCL/H2SO4 hydrolyzed and enzymatic form animal protein or vegetable protein. It is very popular these years as an organic nitrogen fertilizer, and Amino acid organic fertilizer is rich in high-quality organic nitrogen, organic carbon and high organic matter content, providing plants with a high-quality nitrogen and carbon source, improving crop photosynthesis, achieving resistance to adversity and increasing yields.
1. Amino acid organic fertilizer can improve crop quality and yields.
Although plants can synthesize a wide range of amino acids, they are affected by stresses such as adverse weather, pests and diseases, and drug damage. The synthesis of some amino acids is restricted or the synthesis function is reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to regulate the plant to achieve various physiological balances by adding amino acids from exogenous roots or leaves. This is also the purpose of using amino acid biostimulants.
Amino acid fertilizers worked as plant growth stimulants can improve crop yields and quality. As a biostimulant, amino acids fulfill various functions in plants, including structural metabolism and transport. Amino acid fertilizer could stimulate crop uptake of nutrients and increases crop yield. There was a test about the effect of the new plant growth biostimulants based on amino acids on the yield and grain quality of winter wheat. (2018 Feb 21;23(2):470.doi: 10.3390/molecules23020470.). It shows amino acid fertilizer has a good effect on winter wheat and amino acid influences the increase of grain yield (5.4% and 11%).
Plants can produce amino acids on their own, but it takes a lot of capacity. Using amino acid organic fertilizers can directly replenish the crop with absorbable protein and help the crop save more energy to grow and resist harsh conditions.
Here are some tests we are doing applying amino acid formulation on different crops.
For example, Amino acid oligopeptides apply to Lettuce in winter, amino acid liquid helps lettuce grow better in winter
Product: Amino acid liquid
Usage and Dosage
Foliar spray: 400-800times dilution
Fertilizer time: 11
Results: All lettuce improve yields, 400 times and 800times dilution get the best results, 200 times foliar spray is too concentrated and small black spots are present on the foliage, 400 times foliar spray is occasionally visible as a slight black spot, and 800 times foliar spray has no small black spots. We suggest foliar spray 500-800 times.
2. Improves the soil environment and promotes the conversion of organic and inorganic matter and the cycling of nutrient elements.
What does amino acid do to the soil?
Amino acid organic fertilizers applied to the soil help to retain water, aerate the soil, and may promote the growth of microorganisms.
Today’s misuse of chemicals leads to the degradation of soil health, soil erosion, loss of organic matter, and nitrate pollution that is hazardous to human health.
The use of amino acid organic fertilizers increases mineral and water uptake, root development, plant growth, and nitrogen fixation.
Soil microorganisms are one of the most important components of soil, applied amino acid organic fertilizer will promote the conversion of organic and inorganic matter in the soil. When the soil is more healthy, the crop’s root could adsorb more nutrients and grow better.
How to choose amino acids quality fertilizer for your company?
In the market, there are three manufacturer types of raw amino acid fertilizer, one is HCL hydrolysate which is the most popular in the market. Normal product is amino acid 50% 60% 70% 80% powder, 30% liquid. In this type, the free amino acid is higher, but it will contain high content of chloride. The lower the amino acid content, the higher the chloride content.
This type of amino acid fertilizer meets the request for high free amino acid content.
The second is the enzymatic manufacturer process, which is meet organic input standards and more and more popular now. For example amino acid 14-0-0 80% powder, amino acid 16-0-0 85% powder, and amino acid liquid 50% 8-0-0. The advantage is the high content of organic matter, organic carbon, amino acid nitrogen, and most important no less than 1%. It can be used in organic farms as foliar fertilizer or root fertilizer.
Normally third-party tests will be like Midwest Laboratories Inc in America and registration in OMRI CDFA. Canada registration in ECO-CERT and OMRI.
This type of product meets the high organic fertilizer needs, and no free amino acid but high amino acid organic nitrogen needs.
In the third H2SO4 manufacturer process, the normal content is 45% powder. Product type is unique. The free amino acid is more than 40%. Compared with HCL hydrolysate amino acid price is higher but no chloride. But competitive than enzymatic manufacturer process products.
This type of product is suitable for the chloride-sensitive product but the target cost is lower.
The amino acid also can chelate Calcium Magnesium Iron Boron Copper and other minerals. It should be for your final needs on different crops. For example, the amino acid chelate Calcium Magnesium is more popular in the market. Calcium Magnesium is highly needed, especially in fruits. Amino acid chelate Calcium Magnesium could promote fruit quality and yields.
