Amino acid is a general name for a class of organic compounds containing amino and carboxyl groups. It is the basic building block of biological functional macromolecular proteins and the basic substance that constitutes the proteins required for animal and plant nutrition. The amino acid structure includes an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH) and a side chain, where amino acids with different side chains have different properties. The amino acid with the amino group attached to the α-carbon is an α-amino acid, and the amino acids that make up proteins are all α-amino acids. One of its functions on plants is to directly participate in various physiological activities of plants and the synthesis of endogenous hormones in plants.

The growth and development of crops requires various nutrients and substances. The absorption amount, proportion and balance of these nutrients and substances in the body have a great impact on the nutritional physiology of crops and are directly related to the quality of crop fruits. Amino acids are the key components to solve this problem. Supplementing essential amino acids for plants can stimulate and regulate the rapid growth of plants, promote plant growth, promote the absorption of nutrients, increase the accumulation of dry matter and the speed and amount of movement from the roots or leaves of plants to other parts, regulate the proportion and balance of macroelements, trace elements and various nutrients, and thus play a role in regulating the normal growth of plants.


Functions of Amino Acid (fertilizer)
Amino acid fertilizer uses amino acids as a matrix. It uses its huge surface activity and adsorption retention capacity. When used as a fertilizer, it will add some trace elements (calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc, boron, molybdenum, etc.) required for plant growth and development. It is an organic and inorganic complex formed by chelation (complexation); it can not only maintain the slow release and full utilization of large elements, but also ensure the stability and long-term effect of trace elements; it can enhance plant respiration, improve plant oxidation-reduction process, and promote the good effect of plant metabolism. At the same time, it can also promote photosynthesis and chlorophyll formation, and has a significant promoting and activating effect on physiological and biochemical processes such as oxidation-active enzyme activity, seed germination, nutrient absorption, and root growth and development. In particular, its affinity with plants is unmatched by any other substance.


In general, the effects of amino acid are as follows

★ Provide basic components for protein synthesis;

★ Provide high-quality nitrogen, carbon and energy sources for plants;

★ Provide nutrition for rhizosphere microorganisms (saprophytes);

★ Passivate a variety of heavy metal elements, reduce their toxic side effects, and reduce fertilizer damage;

★ It also has a certain inhibitory effect on nitrates;

★ Anti-stress effect: Improve the tolerance of crops to drought, high temperature, salt stress, etc., especially small molecule peptides (a small amount of amino acid polymers) can remove free radicals, anti-oxidation, and resist heavy metal poisoning;

★ Complex (chelate) a variety of trace elements, provide plants with stable chelated (complexed) mineral elements (calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, iron, etc.), which can be quickly absorbed and utilized by plants.
