AMINON WSP®: Amino acid-based biofertilizer for strawberry growing
Amino acids are one of the most important composition in nutrition processes, also in different plant stages. Especially, amino acids applied in agriculture allow plants to grow and give them vigor in critical periods, such as when it is time to transplant them or when they are in the process of flowering and fruit set.
The amino acids of AMINON WSP® increase effectiveness of bio fertilizers for strawberries.
But how do the amino acids of this bio fertilizer work?
This powdered product contains organic nitrogen from amino acids, which provides excellent nutritional and biostimulant properties. In this way:
- Restores the natural balance of the plant, stimulates vegetative growth and chlorophyll function.
- Protects it from adverse conditions to achieve maximum productive potential and improves growth, flowering and fruiting.
- It achieves an increase in the development of the fruit and an advancement of ripening.
- It enhances the effects of phytobiotics and foliar nutrients, which increases the effectiveness of treatments and activates the defense mechanisms against pests, diseases and adverse weather conditions.
- It promotes the development of the roots, as well as the organoleptic characteristics such as size and conservation of the fruits.
AMINON WSP®, the key is the use of 80% free amino acids, which are not linked to any other type of amino acid. They have a lower molecular weight therefore they are easier to assimilate by the crops of plants or trees.
The experiment: AMINON WSP® for strawberry cultivation
The trial, carried out by the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla under the direction of the professor-researcher Dr. Hermilo Sánchez.
Trial design:
- 4 treatments (3 doses of AMINON WSP® and a control without product).
- Foliar application at doses of: 50 g / 100 L, 65 g / 100 L and 80 g / 100 L.
- 3 applications during the vegetative stage, every 25 days.
Variables analyzed::
- Height of the plant (10, 20 and 30 days).
- Days to flowering and fruiting.
- Number of flowers and fruits per plant.
- Performance (kg/ha).
- Leaf Area Index (LAI) and chlorophyll content.
