Amino Acids are essential ingredients in the process of protein synthesis, and more than 20 are required for critical biological processes to occur. Increasing chlorophyll production, providing an easily absorbed form of nitrogen, stimulating vitamin synthesis, increasing pest and disease resistance and bolstering cell wall strength are just a few of the many roles that amino acids perform. The foliar application of amino acids can improve transport of nutrients through the stomata and increase transpiration and photosynthesis, even during periods of low light and moisture, or high temperatures and high concentrations of salt.
