Our glutamic acid raw material, a leader in agricultural innovation, is derived from a distinctive fermentation process utilizing natural plant sources. This material combines free L-amino acids and bioactive compounds to enhance plant health and productivity. As part of the Ajinomoto Group, we have access to a global leader in fermentation technology and state-of-the-art research and development centers.
The Essence of Glutamic Acid
Glutamic acid is central to the efficacy of this raw material and plays a pivotal role in plant physiology. It serves as a precursor for other amino acids and chlorophyll, enhancing photosynthesis and promoting plant growth. Additionally, glutamic acid improves nitrogen use efficiency and increases plants’ tolerance to stress.
- Increased water absorption capacity leading to higher water use efficiency Â
- Stimulation of photosynthetic efficiencyÂ
- Induction of antioxidant capacity to prevent oxidative damage and avoid growth reduction
Unveiling Glutamic Acid Advantages
Our raw material operates uniquely, leveraging an exclusive fermentation extract that contains amino acids and active compounds such as carboxylic acids, phenolic compounds, and vitamins. This synergy boosts plant metabolism and fortifies resistance against environmental stressors.
Enhanced Nutrient Utilization
By improving nutrient assimilation and utilization rates, our raw material optimizes fertilizer efficiency, promoting healthier, more productive crops. The glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and nitrogen-related compounds in our raw material are used to produce forms of nitrogen that the plant can transport and mobilize for biomass production and grain filling.
A Shield Against Environmental Stress
Rich in osmoprotectants like betaine, our raw material maintains cellular integrity and turgor, enabling plants to tolerate stressful situations. Glutamic and aspartic acids serve as precursors to glutathione (GHS), a powerful antioxidant enzyme that detoxifies reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced under abiotic stress conditions.
Proven Efficacy Through Scientific Validation
Scientific studies confirm our raw material’s impact on plant physiology, stimulating metabolism, improving photosynthesis, and increasing antioxidant defenses. This validation underscores its biostimulant properties and efficacy in agriculture.
An assay conducted at the University of Granada evaluated untreated plants under drought stress alongside plants treated with our glutamic acid-based fermentation extract:
- Leaf growth increased by 13%Â
- Root growth increased by 78%Â
- Photosynthesis increased by 118%Â
- Water use efficiency improved by 54%Â
Our raw material offers a sustainable solution, harnessing glutamic acid to foster resilient crops capable of thriving in challenging conditions. As global agricultural demands grow, our solution supports crop productivity, food security, and environmental stewardship.
Explore the transformative potential of our raw material and join us in revolutionizing farming with biostimulant solutions that nurture healthier, resilient plants for a sustainable future.
