In recent years, polyglutamic acid has not only become famous all over the world for its super water retention performance in cosmetics, but also set off a whirlwind in the agricultural field. The key is that polyglutamic acid is already a high point of fertilizer synergists in terms of improving fertilizer efficiency by 20%, and it is also an environmentally friendly fermentation source biological product. Through soil microbial degradation, the decomposition product glutamic acid itself is also very good for plants. Formed, no residue after absorption.
Today we will analyze the main effects of polyglutamic acid in agricultural applications: soil improvement and biostimulation.
Regarding soil improvement, due to the presence of a large number of carboxyl and amino functional groups in polyglutamic acid itself, it has good adsorption and chelation capabilities for water and ions, showing very good water absorption capacity, acid-base neutralization capacity, heavy metal adsorption capacity, N , P, K, and calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron chelation and regulation capabilities, so as to achieve fertilizer efficiency, drought resistance, and salinity adjustment effects.
Regarding plant stimulation, through the improvement of the crop rhizosphere environment and the supply of fertilizer and water, the cell division is promoted rapidly, and the effect of rooting is obvious. The white root is rich in nutrients and the plant grows vigorously, the nutrition is coordinated, the leaves are thick, and the photosynthetic efficiency is improved, so that the leaves, flowers, and fruits grow well, and the yield and quality are greatly improved.
Here are a few application cases:
1. Promote root growth, especially for lateral roots and capillary roots.
The picture above shows that after garlic is harvested with polyglutamic acid synergistic fertilizer, the white roots are vigorous and the root system is strong.
7-day rooting effect of Hainan Hami melon
10-day rooting effect of dragon fruit
2、Growth promotion, well-developed root system, good nutrient absorption, synergistic effect with fertilizer and water, thick leaves, high photosynthetic efficiency, and crops stronger.
The lower right corner of the picture is a cantaloupe plant with common fertilizer, the leaves are yellowish and the plants are weak. It is in sharp contrast with the strong plants and dark green leaves of the polyglutamic acid synergistic fertilizer applied above.
Let me share with you our granular product containing polyglutamic acid, DiamondMax.

DIAMONDMAX Humic Acid: 40% Total Amino acid: 10% Free Amino acid: 5% Polyglutamic acid: 2% Total Nitrogen: 5% K2O: 5% Particle size: 2-4mm Moisture: 10% Granular |
DiamondMax is a powerful soil conditioner product that combines the power of Humic acid, Polyglutamic acid(y-PGA) and Amino acids, while compounding nitrogen and potassium to provide essential mineral nutrients for soil and roots. The application of Humic acid can affect the structure of soil aggregates, improve the living environment of soil microorganisms, and promote the germination and growth of crop roots. Polyglutamic acid(y-PGA) can adjust the pH value of the soil, alleviate the damage of excessive salt and alkali to the root system of crops, and improve the water-holding capacity of the soil. Amino acids would promote the development of crop roots and photosynthesis of plants.
