WHAT ARE AMINO ACIDS?
• The L-alfa amino acids are the basis for the synthesis of
proteins. They can be used immediately by the plants
• The D-amino acids can be used by plants only after a
slow transformation process energetically costly

MECHANISMS OF ACTION
Nitrogen rapidly availableA
• Amino acids, peptides and oligopeptides with low
molecular weight are beneficial to the metabolic
functions of the plants
• High metabolic efficiency through saving energy in
several processes such as synthesis of proteins and
chlorophyll
• Supplies organic Nitrogen compounds (aminoacidic
Nitrogen) readily available

Influences on metabolic pathwaysC
FOLIAMIN GROWTH PROMOTER,
ENERGY FOR THE PLANTS
• Favors the accumulation of vitamins and stimulates
biochemical reactions such as production of the
endogenous proteins (hormones and enzymes)
• Stimulates the natural metabolic processes, increasing
the enzyme activity
• Increases the permeability of the cell membrane thus
favoring the absorption of nutrients
PRODUCTS FOR PLANT NUTRITION
MECHANISMS OF ACTION
• accelerate the humification process
Carbon and long chain peptides in soil:
• improve soil aeration, texture and structure
• activate the microbial flora
Improvement of soil characteristicsD
• increase the stability of the organic matter
• better water holding capacity and management

TO SUM UP
• FOLIAMIN promotes vegetative growth and fruit
enlargement
• FOLIAMIN affects the metabolic functions of the plants
increasing the nutritional efficiency
it reduces the damage due to acidic substances
and herbicides utilizations improving their absorption
• FOLIAMIN is suggested whenever plants are stressed
• FOLIAMIN activates the microbial flora of the soil
