Amino acids act as building blocks. They help to grow a stronger, more energetic crop. This is achieved through improved root development, increased stress resistance, and positive effects on the energy balance.
Amino acids stimulate plant physiological functions, such as germination, flowering, pollination, fruit setting and fruit development.
Under optimal growing conditions plants produce their own amino acids, but under stressful conditions they limit the production of amino acids and even break down structural proteins in order to have the required amino acids available. If a plant is then offered 'ready-made' amino acids, it can save energy and still grow healthier, stronger and more resilient.
Good absorbable amino acids therefore help the plant to keep its energy management efficient. The plants then have to produce fewer amino acids themselves, save energy and can become and remain stronger. They grow better and their resistance to abiotic stress (such as drought stress) increases.
In addition, amino acids are natural building blocks of essential plant proteins.
Finally, they promote root development and contribute to a healthier root system and thus a healthy, strong, stress-resistant crop that is able to use its energy efficiently.
We have analysed the most important amino acids and added them to our product Nutricin. We work with a mix of 20 types of so-called L-amino acids. These amino acids are of vegetable origin.
