What are the advantages and disadvantages of amino acids, humic acid, and alginic acid?

Amino acid

Amino acid-containing water-soluble fertilizers are mainly amino acids and complex micro-fertilizers. They contain plant nutritional growth regulators and trace elements necessary for plants. Amino acid foliar fertilizer can be simply understood as foliar fertilizer containing amino acid active factors

Compound amino acid water-soluble fertilizer has obvious effects on crop rooting, germination, seedling strengthening, flowering, fruit strengthening, and fruit preservation. It can also stimulate the activity of enzymes, improve photosynthetic efficiency, accelerate nutrient absorption and operation, increase chlorophyll content, and increase sugar content. content, improve crop quality, enhance crop resistance to drought, disease, stress resistance and immunity, etc.
Amino acid fertilizers are non-toxic, pollution-free, and do not pollute the environment. After field trials and demonstrations at many points in the country, amino acid foliar fertilizers can promote root growth, strengthen seedlings and plants, enhance the photosynthetic function of leaves and stress resistance of crops. It can resist diseases and insect pests and has a significant yield-increasing effect on a variety of crops. At the same time, it also has the effect of improving product quality. Amino acid foliar fertilizer is mainly used for spraying outside the roots, and can also be used for seed soaking, seed dressing, root dipping, root irrigation, etc.
The functions and advantages of amino acid foliar fertilizer:

  1. Amino acids exist in fertilizers as the smallest molecules that constitute proteins and are easily absorbed by crops; they also have the function of improving the disease resistance of fertilized objects and improving the quality of fertilized crops.
  2. Supplement essential amino acids for plants, stimulate and regulate rapid plant growth, promote plant growth and robustness, and promote the absorption of nutrients. Enhance the metabolic function of plants, improve photosynthesis, promote the development of plant root systems, and accelerate plant growth and reproduction.

Multiple experiments on a variety of crops have shown that amino acid organic foliar fertilizer can indeed significantly increase crop yields, effectively increase the soluble sugar content of the product, reduce the NO3- content, and improve the absorption and utilization of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

humic acid

Humic acid has many functions in plant protection and solves the new value preservation problems faced by the rapidly developing large-area orchards and facility agriculture. It is mainly manifested in the following four major advantages

  1. Improve the ability of plants to defend against natural disasters.
    Potassium fulvic, a mineral source, can promote the formation of soil aggregate structure, enhance the soil’s ability to retain fertilizer and water, enhance the photosynthesis of crops, and increase the accumulation of organic matter. It is very obvious in the recovery from drought, waterlogging, and freezing disasters. When abrasions after a disaster are infected by bacteria, humic acid can be sprayed to repair the abrasions of the plants quickly and avoid fruit loss due to bacterial infection.
  2. Fertilize to prevent diseases.
    Some scientific researchers have done a lot of research on the application of biological humic acid for fertilization and disease prevention. They believe that humic acid not only has high physiological activity but also contains special live bacteria. Humic acid has a strong hygroscopic function and adjusts the flora of soil microorganisms. Structure and diversity, suppressing indigenous soil pathogens and enhancing crop variability. Early application of biological humic acid is beneficial to the timely ecological adjustment of soil microorganisms, changes soil compaction, and makes fertilizer and control effects more obvious.
  3. Treatment of diseased and weak fruit tree plants with mineral humic acid.
    Due to the rapid application of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and hormones, as well as the improper use of chemical fertilizers, resulting in obesity, fruit trees appear to decline prematurely and even orchards wither. This is called “chemical pesticide syndrome”. Using humic acid concentrated liquid fertilizer, combined with the application of organic fertilizer, soil loosening, root removal, appropriate pruning and other agricultural measures can completely rejuvenate the plant.
  4. Spray the foliage of crops.
    Foliar spraying of humic acid trace element liquid fertilizer has obvious effects on crop “supplementation”, disease prevention and increase in yield. This is the advantage of biological humic acid. Nowadays, many fruit trees use fruit bagging. If humic acid liquid fertilizer is sprayed before bagging, The fruit will grow plump, bright in appearance, and taste sweeter. It is a genuine green food.

seaweed fertilizer

Seaweed fertilizer uses seaweed as raw material. Through technical means, the seaweed cells are broken and the contents are released, and then concentrated to form a seaweed essence concentrate, which greatly retains the natural active ingredients of seaweed. It is an efficient and low-cost new fertilizer. It mainly includes The following 4 major advantages:

  1. Rich in nutrients
    Active seaweed fertilizer contains a large amount of non-nitrogen-containing organic matter, including more than 40 minerals such as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, iodine and rich vitamins that are unmatched by terrestrial plants, especially seaweed polysaccharides unique to seaweed. Alginic acid, highly unsaturated fatty acids and a variety of natural plant growth regulators can stimulate the production of non-specific active factors in plants and regulate the balance of endogenous hormones.
  2. Easily absorbed by plants
    After special treatment, the active ingredients in seaweed fertilizer are in an active state that is easily absorbed by plants. They enter the plant body 2 to 3 hours after application and have a very fast absorption and conduction speed. The alginic acid in seaweed fertilizer can reduce the surface tension of water and form a thin film on the surface of the plant, which increases the contact area. Water-soluble substances can more easily penetrate the cells on the surface of stems and leaves, allowing the plant to effectively absorb the nutrients in the seaweed extract. Element.
  3. Safe and non-toxic, can improve soil
    Seaweed fertilizer is a natural biological product. The raw material of seaweed fertilizer comes from natural seaweed. It has good affinity with terrestrial plants. It is non-toxic and harmless to humans and animals and has no pollution to the environment. It is a high-quality fertilizer for the production of harmless vegetables. . Works harmoniously with plant-soil ecosystems. It can increase organic matter in the soil directly or through plants and activate various microorganisms in the soil. These microorganisms can act as catalysts in the [plant-microbial metabolite cycle], increasing the biological effectiveness of the soil.
  4. Long-lasting fertilizer effect
    Metabolites from plants and soil microorganisms provide more nutrients to plants. At the same time, the chelation system formed by seaweed polysaccharides and humic acid can slowly release nutrients and extend the fertilizer effect.
