-
Amino acids are the building blocks of all protein.
-
All protein in plants and animals are made exclusively from L-amino acids.
-
D-form amino acids are rare in nature and not used by plants to make proteins. They may become a source of nutrients for plants only after microbial break down.
-
L-amino acids are the same in plants as they are in animals. Plants make them from inorganic minerals when growing in optimum conditions, animals and humans consume them.
-
Feeding plants L-amino acids saves the plant energy allowing it to photosynthesize more normally even under stressful conditions.
-
L-amino acids are readily absorbed after application (through the leaves or roots) and translocated throughout the plant.
-
Foliar applications of L-amino acids help plants out of stress.
-
Pre-conditioning plants with L-amino acids is the best way to enhance the tolerance of plants to stress and produce healthier and stronger plants throughout the year.
-
L-amino acids reduce senescence (aging), which keeps plants strong and healthy.
-
L-amino acids increase plants ability to absorb nutrients through their roots and/or leaves, especially during periods of stress (environmental, mechanical, disease, salinity or poor soil conditions).
-
L-amino acids increase water use efficiency and water retention in plants thus increasing the tolerance of plants to drought stress.
-
Regular application of L-amino acids reduces the amount of nitrogen needed by plants to produce their proteins, enzymes, chlorophyll, or other nitrogenous compounds.
-
Spoon feeding plants with L-amino acids is like humans taking supplemental vitamins on a regular basis.
-
Plants cannot make their own amino acids during periods of stress and rely on root zone storage of amino acids to stay alive.
-
Pre-conditioning plants with L-amino acids reduces the amount of stress and helps plants to maintain or increase stored proteins in the stem or roots. These stored proteins are used when required to supplement vital physiological processes within the plant.
