Product Information
- Product Name: Amino Acid (Plant Source)
- Description: A high-purity soluble powder biostimulant and organic fertilizer derived from plant proteins (primarily non-GMO soybean or equivalent vegetable sources) through enzymatic hydrolysis. This process yields a concentrated product containing minimum 80% total amino acids (w/w), consisting of 18 L-form amino acids and peptides. It provides bioavailable organic nitrogen, acts as a natural chelator for nutrients, and enhances plant metabolism without synthetic additives. Suitable for organic farming systems.
- Form: Light yellow to beige fine powder
- Odor: Mild characteristic amino acid scent
- Source: Enzymatic hydrolysis of plant proteins to preserve L-amino acids and bioactive peptides.
- CAS No.: Not specifically assigned; related to protein hydrolysates.

Benefits and Functions
- Provides readily absorbable amino acids that support protein synthesis, reducing plant energy expenditure.
- Enhances chlorophyll concentration, photosynthesis, and overall plant vigor.
- Promotes robust root development, increasing nutrient and water uptake efficiency.
- Improves tolerance to abiotic stresses (drought, salinity, temperature extremes) and biotic stresses via metabolic regulation.
- Acts as a natural chelator, improving availability and uptake of micronutrients.
- Boosts crop quality (e.g., protein content, flavor, color, shelf life) and yield.
- Fully organic, biodegradable, and environmentally safe; compatible with most fertilizers and agrochemicals.
Recommended Application
- Preparation: Fully dissolve powder in water before use to ensure even distribution.
- Methods: Foliar spray, soil drench, fertigation, or seed treatment.
- Dosage Rates:
- Foliar Spray: 200–500 g/ha (dilute at 0.5–1 g/L water).
- Soil Drench/Fertigation: 500–1000 g/ha.
- Seed Treatment: 2–5 g/kg seed or soak in 0.2–0.5% solution.
- Frequency: 2–4 applications during key growth stages (seedling establishment, vegetative growth, flowering, and fruiting).
- Crops: Ideal for vegetables, fruits, field crops, ornamentals, turf, and hydroponic systems.
Storage and Handling
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Shelf Life: 3–5 years under proper storage conditions.
- Precautions: Non-toxic and non-hazardous; avoid dust inhalation. Use protective equipment during handling.
Safety and Environmental Notes
- Classified as non-hazardous; completely biodegradable with no adverse environmental impact.
- Supports sustainable agriculture by providing organic nitrogen and reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers.
