Eco Stim 1L | Fair Dinkum Fertilizers

Eco Stim 1L Concentrate
Organic amino acids and peptides blend...

Summary: 
Fair Dinkum Fertilizers Eco Stim is a bio-stimulant made from organic protein which has been broken down into peptides and amino acids. It belongs to a group of biostimulants, referred to as protein hydrolysates, which have received much attention in Europe during the last decade.

Based on European research, Eco Stim was further developed in Australia as a new generation hydrolysate. Previously Fish Emulsion has been the most common protein hydrolysate on the market, but with new research and technological advances, Eco Stim is now able to deliver considerable advantages.

Key Features:
Increased growth, yield and flowering.
Increased crop quality.
Increased resistance to abiotic stress such as drought, high and low temperature and soil salinity.

What are Protein Hydrolysates?
Protein hydrolysates contain a number of amino acids and peptides. Amino acids and small peptides can be absorbed by both the roots and leaves and move into the plant. They can also be used by the soil microbes. In fact, when applied to the soil usually most of the amino acids are used by soil microbes and the remainder is taken up by the plant roots. The actual amount taken up by the roots varies considerably with plant species / variety and soil conditions.

Benefits of Amino Acids?
When amino acids are taken up via the soil microbes, soil microbes multiply in number which in turn increases the availability of previously locked up nutrients to the plant. Amino acids and peptides are used directly for protein and enzyme synthesis. Eco Stim contains significant amounts of nitrogen and potassium and is particularly suited to organic crop production and for use in mixed pastures such as organic dairy farming. Eco Stim can be used on a wide range of plants, including vegetables, agricultural and horticultural crops.
