Amino acids
Even though plants have the inherent capacity to biosynthesize all of the amino acids that they require from nitrogen, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen, the biochemical process is quite complex and energy consuming. As such, the application of amino acids such as those contained in FoliMAX Amino + allow the plant to save energy on this process, which can be dedicated to better plant development during critical growth stages. Amino acids are fundamental ingredients in a protein’s biosynthetic process and nearly twenty amino acids types are involved in biosynthetic processes. Studies have shown that amino acids can directly or indirectly impact in a plant’s physiological activities. Amino acids are applied through foliar feeding, absorbed through the plant’s stomata or via the root system when incorporated into the soil. This also helps improve microbial activity, which in turn, facilitates nutrient assimilation into the plant.
The key roles that amino acids play in turf and landscape plants are as follows:
• Key role in protein synthesis.
• Prevention and recuperative affects to abiotic stress.
• Key metabolites in the photosynthetic process.
• Key material that assists in opening the plant’s stomata, enhancing metabolism.
• Amino acids have a chelation effect on micronutrients, improving absorption and
translocation within the plant.
• Provides a food source for soil microbial activity.
Application rates
Situation | Rate | Comments |
Foliar application | 10 – 20 L/ha | Apply as a spray application during the growing season on all turf grasses and mostlandscape plants |
Soil application | 10 – 20 L/ha | Irrigate with 3-6mm immediately after the treatment has been applied. |
Fertigation | 2 – 10 L/ha | Use Amino + at 2 L/ha as a chelation agent or up to 10 L/ ha as a natural nitrogen source. |
Seedlings | 5 mL/L | Apply Amino + upon seedling emergence and then apply as often as necessary. |
Landscape / ornamental plants | 5 mL/L | Apply to foliage at approximately 21 day intervals based on plant growth, colour and need. |
