Polyglutamic acid is a water-soluble, biodegradable, non-toxic biopolymer material produced by microbial fermentation. It plays an important role in protein metabolism in plants and participates in many important chemical reactions.
So what is polyglutamic acid?
Polyglutamic acid is a type of homopolymer amino acid formed by the polymerization of glutamic acid monomers through amide bonds. It is a biopolymer material fermented with monosodium glutamate, glucose, peptone, yeast extract and other carbon and nitrogen sources as culture medium, and has water retention and water lock functions.
Polyglutamic acid is first fermented to produce water, that is, fermentation liquid, and then the various content powders are purified in the fermentation liquid. In the communication with downstream manufacturers, many people often mistakenly believe that polyglutamic acid liquid is powder blended. Polyglutamic acid is not a new product. It has a history of more than 20 years in cosmetics, food, and medicine. If it had not been used in agriculture in recent years, polyglutamic acid water would actually be a semi-finished product. With agricultural applications, polyglutamic acid water is sold as a raw material product.
Polyglutamic acid in fertilizer synergistic effect
Adding it to compound fertilizer, compound fertilizer, organic fertilizer, urea, water-soluble fertilizer and other fertilizers has multiple functions such as reducing fertilizer nutrient loss, improving fertilizer utilization rate, regulating plant growth, etc. It is a new generation of fertilizer synergist.
It has significant application effects on rice, wheat, corn, peanuts, sweet potatoes, yams, vegetables, fruit trees and other plants, which can significantly increase crop yields by 10%-25%, and increase root crops by more than 30%.
Polyglutamic acid will form a protective film on the roots of plants to protect the root hairs of plants. In addition, it can transport nutrients and water in the soil to plants. It can also absorb nutrients in fertilizers to improve the conversion rate and utilization rate of fertilizers. It can also promote the development of plant roots and enhance plant disease resistance.
Polyglutamic acid can also absorb nutrients in fertilizers and transport them to plants to improve the conversion rate and utilization rate of fertilizers. The composition of the soil is relatively complex, but polyglutamic acid can prevent the precipitation caused by the chemical reaction between certain acid radical ions and metal elements, promote the development of plant roots, and enhance the disease resistance of plants.
Long-term use of chemical fertilizers will cause the soil to be weakly acidic, but polyglutamic acid can well regulate the properties of the soil. Polyglutamic acid can also bind toxic heavy metals, filter them, integrate plant nutrients and effective ingredients in the soil, and enhance the disease resistance of plants. In addition, polyglutamic acid can also rapidly increase the yield of agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables.
Polyglutamic acid can promote the absorption and utilization of nutrients such as trace elements and phosphorus fertilizers. In addition, polyglutamic acid can also improve the exchange capacity of cations in the soil, temporarily store and adsorb cations, such as calcium ions, magnesium ions and other trace elements, and then slowly release them into the soil for supplementation.
