Plants stress

Farmers and plant growers are constantly dealing with plant stress caused by factors including weather conditions. It's either too hot, too cold, too wet, or too dry. But plant stress also occurs when fertilizers and/or crop protection products are added. These can also cause stress (literally) to plants. Their growth slows down, and their yield decreases.

Unlike humans and animals, plants cannot seek shelter from the sun. Water deficiency due to global warming will become a limiting factor in food production. If plants could be developed with increased tolerance to water shortage, it would have extremely significant consequences globally.

Amino acids against plant stress

Amino acids are involved in every biochemical reaction occurring in a living plant cell. They form the building blocks of all proteins and enzymes. Therefore, they are crucial for the optimal functioning of the plant. Amino acid synthesis is not optimal when the plant is under stress (suboptimal conditions). This compromises the quality and growth of plants. Applying amino acids before or during such conditions will enable the crop to recover faster and maintain high quality and productivity.

Advantages of amino acids under plant stress

Amino acids promote, activate, and chelate. Most importantly, they ensure the synthesis of proteins in the plant is simplified. The energy saved by the plant can be used for other processes. During stressful times, such as when fungicides and herbicides are applied, drought, frost, etc., this simple protein production and energy saving are particularly desirable. When amino acids are used during plant stress, they lead to faster stress relief, energy conservation, improved protein synthesis, and better growth.

Benefits of our amino acids

• Stimulator of plant growth ? various amino acids act as plant growth stimulators;
• Increased immunity ? they improve plant resistance to diseases and pests;
• Chelation ? amino acids are natural, highly effective chelators;
• Stress reduction ? crops experience fewer negative effects of stress due to energy savings;
• Protein production ? amino acids provide the plant with a (somewhat energy-efficient) quickly absorbed source of nitrogen.
