Properly formulated bio-stimulants can reduce grower costs and improve profits, as well as reducing the environmental impact of agrochemicals, AminoA shares.

Harnessing the potential of plants to unlock yield potential, increase resistance to stress and to help reduce environmental impacts, British bio-technology business AminoA says it has helped growers both in the UK and worldwide to boost yields, improve quality and in doing so increase profits across all crops.

“Bio-stimulants are now becoming mainstream inputs, regulated worldwide, and suitable for use in all crops,” explains Richard Phillips, AminoA managing director.

“Moreover, they can provide yield, performance and quality benefits, while helping reduce carbon footprints and overall input spend on expensive agrochemicals.

“Properly formulated bio-stimulants can reduce grower costs and improve profits, as well as reducing the environmental impact of agrochemicals,” he adds.

AminoA products, such as the highly concentrated nutrient source AminoA FLO, are natural bio-stimulants, obtained through enzymatic hydrolysis.

Containing essential amino-acids that plants synthesise throughout their growth cycle, they can contribute positively to yield and quality if the plant is not already producing optimal levels of amino-acids itself.

Reducing nitrogen-inputs

For example, AminoA’s revolutionary hybrid bio-stimulant, AminoA Blaazt, helps to short-circuit the natural growth process by harnessing nitrogen in its amine form, while also combining amino acids to create an extremely efficient means of introducing a concentrated form of nitrogen into the plant.

“By harnessing the amine form of nitrogen, normally only produced and found in the plant itself, AminoA Blaazt helps improve yield and quality in all crops.

It also reduces the risk of environmental pollution from the run-off of easily leached chemical fertilisers,” says Mr Phillips.

A key feature of AminoA Blaazt is the significant role it has in not only reducing soil-applied nitrogen inputs, but also in enhancing the production of protozoa.

By providing non-toxic nitrogen in the amine form, AminoA Blaazt supports healthy root development and root foraging.

This allows plants to efficiently utilise nutrients released by protozoa, which are crucial for nutrient cycling and soil fertility.

“Reducing soil-applied nitrogen, particularly ammonium nitrate, creates a favourable environment for protozoa development.

“Protozoa consume bacteria and fungi, releasing nutrients in a plant-available form,” explains Mr Phillips.

“The increased protozoa activity we have seen in AminoA-treated plots, such as our Cereals crop plot trials over the last four years, indicates a higher nutrient release potential, benefiting plant nutrition and health,” he adds.

“We can therefore conclude, that by incorporating AminoA Blaazt into their practices, farmers can optimise nutrient utilisation, support sustainable agriculture, and minimise the negative impacts of excessive nitrogen inputs.

This approach enhances plant nutrition and promotes a healthy soil microbial community,” he continues.

By providing non-toxic nitrogen in the amine form, AminoA Blaazt supports healthy root development and root foraging.

Environmental footprints

Likewise, with the UK and EU both advancing toward reduced pesticide use, through regulatory frameworks and sustainability strategies, bio-stimulants such as AminoA FLO also represent an important tool in this transition, enhancing plant health naturally and supporting low-input, resilient farming systems, the company says.

So too can the seed treatment AminoA Staart, encouraging vigorous root development and growth, while improving the efficiency of other agrochemicals and fertilisers, in harmony with the soil microbiology

“When faced with growing pressure from industry and government to reduce environmental footprints, whether through reduced pesticide use, nitrogen applications or other inputs, AminoA’s biological solutions are combining proven and independently tested yield and quality performance results, alongside crucial environmental benefits,“ concludes Mr Phillips.
