Supporting growth and recovery with FertAmino and PlantForce
In modern cultivation, it is no longer just about the quantity of nutrients being applied. Increasingly, the key question is: how much of those nutrients can the plant actually absorb and utilize? Energy management, growth balance, and recovery capacity all play a major role in this. As a result, there is growing attention for amino acids and functional components that contribute to more efficient plant processes.
Amino acids as direct building blocks with high efficiency
Amino acids form the basis of proteins and enzymes and therefore play an essential role in plant growth and development. When supplied through fertilisation, they can be directly incorporated into the plant’s metabolism. This means less energy is required for conversion processes, allowing the plant to allocate more energy to growth, development, and recovery.
Support during stress and recovery
During periods of stress, such as heat, drought, or rapid growth changes, the plant’s metabolism comes under pressure. In these situations, the plant must invest additional energy to keep its physiological processes functioning properly.
Amino acids can support recovery processes in these situations by providing readily available building blocks for protein and enzyme formation and by helping the plant resume growth more quickly after disruption. In this way, they support an efficient return to normal physiological activity.
FertAmino: tailored to every growth stage
Our FertAmino range of liquid organic fertilisers has been specially developed in different formulations and NPK ratios to optimally match the plant’s needs:
- 7-2-2 / 7-2-3+: vegetative growth and active development
- 5-2-4 / 5-1-5+: balance between vegetative and generative growth
- 3-2-7 / 3-1-9+: later growth stages and ripening
This allows FertAmino products to be applied in a targeted way throughout different growth stages.
PlantForce: supporting physiological processes
PlantForce is a biostimulant containing calcium, magnesium, silicon, and harpin. These components support the plant’s internal processes that are essential for growth, development, and efficient metabolism. Harpin acts as a signaling component that helps regulate these processes, enabling the plant to use energy and nutrients more effectively. This helps the crop remain better balanced and function more efficiently under changing cultivation conditions.
Practical application
In practice, FertAmino and PlantForce are mainly used at times when the crop is under pressure or can benefit from an extra boost. Examples include periods of rapid growth, transitions between growth stages, or conditions such as heat, drought, or other stress factors.
At these moments, FertAmino can provide a rapid supply of directly absorbable building blocks, while PlantForce supports the plant’s internal processes that ensure efficient use of energy and nutrients. As a result, crop development remains more consistent, even under changing conditions.
