PROTEIN HYDROLYSATE / AMINO ACID
Agriculture production is very intensive business and is related to
better quality and better yield
which leads to better profitability. Every farmer dreams of
achieving this goal. However to achieve
this goal with advancement of technology use of fertilizer and
pesticide is not adequate. Now is
the time to look at bio energetic and bio chemical aspects of
plants, to achieve the goal of
farmers. .
Every plant like any living organism need certain components for
growth over and above soil, sun,
rain, and air. The basic components of living cells is protein,
with building block material, amino
acid. Proteins are formed by sequences of amino acid. Plants
synthesize amino acids from the
primary elements, carbon and oxygen obtained from air, Hydrogen
from water in the soil. This
forms carbon hydrate by means of photosynthesis and by combining it
with the nitrogen which
the plants obtain from the soil, leads to synthesis by amino acid
and collateral metabolic
pathways. Only L amino acids are part of these proteins and have
metabolic activity.
The requirement of amino acids in essential quantities is well
known as a means to increase yield
and overall quality of crops. The application of amino acids foliar
use is based on its requirement
by plants in general and at critical stages of growth in
particular. Plants absorb amino acids
through stomas and it is proportionate to environment
temperature.
Foliar nutrition in the form of protein hydrolysate and foliar
spray provide readymade building
block for protein synthesis. Amino acids are also supplied to plant
by incorporating in the soil. It
helps in improving the microflora of the soil facilitating the
assimilation of nutrients. Amino acids
are also supplied to plants by incorporating into the
soil.
Amino acids are fundamental ingredient in the process of protein
synthesis. About *0 important
amino acids are involved in the process and each function. Studies
have proved that amino acid
can directly or indirectly influence the physiological activities
of the plants.
