FOLIAMINGROWTH PROMOTER,

ENERGY FOR THE PLANTS

ORGANIC FERTILIZERS


COMPOSITION AND FUNCTION

FOLIAMIN GROWTH PROMOTER,


It is a formulation of amino acids in a

readily assimilable form

Carrier of nutrients both by root

uptake and by leaf absorption plus

antistress function

FOLIAMIN has nutritional and

biostimulant functions (precursor of

growing promoters)

WHAT ARE AMINO ACIDS?

The alfa amino acids have both the carboxylic and

amine group on the same Carbon

hydrogen

The beta amino acids have the amine group on the

adjacent Carbon to the functional one

Protein




• The L-alfa amino acids are the basis for the synthesis of

proteins. They can be used immediately by the plants

• The D-amino acids can be used by plants only after a

slow transformation process energetically costly

MECHANISMS OF ACTION

Nitrogen rapidly availableA

• Amino acids, peptides and oligopeptides with low

molecular weight are beneficial to the metabolic

functions of the plants

• High metabolic efficiency through saving energy in

several processes such as synthesis of proteins and

chlorophyll

• Supplies organic Nitrogen compounds (aminoacidic

Nitrogen) readily available

Antistress actionB



A crop can suffer different types of stressesEnvironmental

• frost

• hot weather

• drought

• roots asphyxia

• too low RU

• hail

• wind

The plants react synthetizing a range of compounds

Agronomic

• transplanting

• phytotoxicity

• salinity

• pruning

Related to sensitive

phases

• vegetative restart

• flowering

• fruit set

• ripening

Biotic

• insects

• fungi

• viruses

• bacteria



Antistress actionB



What does stress mean “stress”, in practice, for the plant?

of all the activities such as:

rooting, growth, sprouting, flowering, fruit set, fruit

enlargement, ripening

Influences on metabolic pathwaysC



• Favors the accumulation of vitamins and stimulates

biochemical reactions such as production of the

endogenous proteins (hormones and enzymes)

• Stimulates the natural metabolic processes, increasing

the enzyme activity

• Increases the permeability of the cell membrane thus

favoring the absorption of nutrients



• accelerate the humification process

Carbon and long chain peptides in soil:

• improve soil aeration, texture and structure

• activate the microbial flora

Improvement of soil characteristicsD

• increase the stability of the organic matter

• better water holding capacity and management

*Distribute the product at a concentration of 2-3‰

**The doses refer to a volume of water of 10 hL/ha

Use the minimum recommended doses for treatments in greenhouse



METHOD OF USE

Compatibility Good compatibility with almost all

phytosanitary products

With products based on Sulfur and trace

elements reduce the dose and make a

test before the use

It is not recommended for use in

combination with products based on

Copper



TO SUM UP

• FOLIAMIN promotes vegetative growth and fruit

enlargement

• FOLIAMIN affects the metabolic functions of the plants

increasing the nutritional efficiency

it reduces the damage due to acidic substances

and herbicides utilizations improving their absorption

• FOLIAMIN is suggested whenever plants are stressed

• FOLIAMIN activates the microbial flora of the soil
