Effect of Amino Acids on Plants

Effect of Amino Acids on Plants

Agriculture production is a very intensive business and is related to better quality and better yield leading to better profitability, every farmer’s dreams to achieve this goal. However to achieve this goal with advancement of technology, use of fertilizer and pesticides in not adequate Now is the time to look at Bioenergetics and Biochemical aspects of plants, to achieve the goal of Farmers.
 

Every plant like any organism needs certain components for growth over and above soil, sun, rain and air. The basic component of living cells is proteins, with building block material, Amino Acids, Proteins are formed by sequence of Amino Acids Plants synthesize Amino Acids from the Primary elements, the Carbon and Oxygen obtained from air, Hydrogen from water in the soil, forming Carbon Hydrate by means of photosynthesis and combining it with the Nitrogen which the plants obtain from the soil, leading to synthesis of amino acids, by collateral metabolic pathways. Only L-Amino Acids are part of these Proteins and have metabolic activity.
 

The requirement of amino acids in essential qualities is well know as a means to increase yield and overall quality of crops. The application of amino acids for Foliar use is based on its requirement by plants in general and at critical stages of growth in particular. A plant absorbs Amino Acids through Stomas and is proportional to environment temperature Amino Acids are fundamental ingredients in the process of Protein Synthesis. About 20 important Amino Acids are involved in the process of each function. Studies have proved that Amino Acids can directly or indirectly influence the physiological activities of the plant. Amino Acids are also supplied to plant by incorporating them into the soil. It helps in improving the microflora of the soil thereby facilitating the assimilation of nutrients.
 

Foliar Nutrition in the form of Protein Hydrolysate (Know as Amino Acids Liquid) and foliar spray provide readymade building blocks for Protein Synthesis.

SPECIFIC AMINO ACID CHELATED MINERAL AND COMPLEXES

 

Chelation refers to a bonding formed between a metal ion (mineral) and a ligand (protein or amino acid chelating agent) carrier. A mineral complex is a mixture consisting of a mineral and an organic compound carrier, such as a Protein or polysaccharide; a chelate is a type of complex.
 

Metal Specific Amino Acid Complex is the product resulting from complexing a soluble metal salt with a specific amino acid. Minimum metal content must be declared. When used as a commercial feed ingredient, it must be declared as a specific metal, specific amino complex.
 

Metal Specific Amino Acid Chelate is the product resulting from the reaction of a metal ion from a soluble metal salt with amino acids with a mole ratio of one mole of metal to one to three (preferably two) moles of amino acid to form coordinate covalent bonds. The minimum metal content must be declared. When used as a commercial feed ingredient it must be declared as a specific metal amino acid chelate: i.e., calcium amino acid chelate; iron amino acid chelate; magnesium amino acid chelate; manganese amino acid chelate; or zinc amino acid chelate.
 

PROTEINATES AND CHELATED MINERAL COMPLEXES

 

Metal Amino Acid Complex is the product resulting from complexing a soluble metal salt with an amino acid(s). Minimum metal content must be declared. When used as a commercial feed ingredient, it must be declared as a specific metal amino complex: i.e., potassium amino acid complex; copper amino acid complex; zinc amino acid complex; zinc amino acid complex; iron amino acid complex; cobalt amino acid complex; cobalt amino acid complex; calcium amino acid complex; and manganese amino acid complex.
 

Metal Proteinate/ Chelates is the product resulting from the chelation of a soluble salt with amino acids and/or partially hydrolyzed protein. It must be declared as a ingredient as the specific metal proteinate: i.e., copper proteinate; zinc proteinate; magnesium proteinate; iron proteinate; cobalt proteinate; manganese proteinate; or calcium proteinate.
