Intro Benefits Aminogram Products Trials
Amino acids: essential elements
• Amino acids are essential for the nutrition of any living organism as they are structural protein units.
• They determine the majority of the most important properties that characterize proteins and control many physiological processes: enzymatic, store, constitution, make-up of the chlorophyll, etc.
Amino acids: essential elements
AMINO ACID: Elementary components of proteins assimilated by plants in a direct manner. They are organic molecules, containing two functional radicals: NH2 - Amino group (alkaline)COOH - Carboxyl Acid group
There are about 20 amino acids in Nature.
PEPTIDES: Two (di-peptide) or several (polypeptide) amino acids joint together.
PROTEINS: formed by established sequences of amino acids.
L-α-amino acids
L-α-amino acid
The presence of an asymmetric carbon confers a particularity on the amino acids, in consequence the amino (-NH2) and acid (-COOH) groups can be located in two positions in space. These two forms are called isomers: Levo (L) or Dextro (D).
D-α-amino acid
L-α-amino acids:
The only amino acids biologically active in plants for protein formation
α carbon

Decisive solution in critical moments
Applications are especially recommended under stress conditions
Strengths the crops in adverse conditions.
What is plant stress?
Plant stress is an “ALTERATION” in any environmental factor producing an impact
on the plant
This influences the biochemical and physiological response to such alteration, and may lead to
DAMAGES in the plant that changes its development
Plant Stress causes
Climatic Stress:
•Water•Light•Salt/pH•High/Low Temperature•Heavy metal/Nutrients•Pollutant
Stress linked to crop cycle:
•Transplantation•Sprouting•Flowering•Fruit setting•Maturity
Other Stress:
•Plant damages•Phytotoxicity after pesticides application•Damages caused by fungi, nematodes, insects…
Stress responses of plants
Growth•Germination inhibition•Growth reduction•Premature senescence•Reduction in productivity
Physiology•Reduction in water uptake•Altered transpiration rate•Reduction in photosynthesis•Altered respiration•Decrease in N assimilation•Increase content of toxic NH4
Molecular Biology•Decreased protein synthesis•Reduced activity of enzymes•Disorganization of membrane systems •Altered gene expression

Benefits: 2. Bio-stimulant
Maximum speed in direct absorption and assimilation by the crops, (soil & foliar application)
Efficient and immediate crop recovery after critical periods, due to the high content of protein Nitrogen.
Natural Bio-stimulant of vegetation (leaves, roots, fruits, flowers…) for all crops
Hormone-like effect (boost cellular division, rooting, pollen germination…)
100% free L-α-amino acids, this isomer is the active substance that allows the plant to recover from critical situations.
Mechanism of action
The rapid and efficient supply of L-α-amino acids from Tradecorp’s Amino Acids Range in critical periods reduces the time that the plant suffers stress, minimizing any negative stressful effects:
When to apply
Apply Tradecorp’s Amino Acids Range during stress moments or critical periods of
plant development “CURATIVE”
But “PREVENTION” is always much better
Benefits: 3. Energy Save / Fast action
Energy saving…The processes that plants use to synthesize amino acids (amination and transamination) are particularly expensive in terms of ENERGY. The application of the Tradecorp’s Amino Acids Range allows plants to save this extra energy expenditure since they don’t have to synthesize amino acids and can invest it in other processes.
…and less recovery time: this reduces the recovery time for crops in adverse situations.
Greater speed of uptake: free amino acids are characterized by their low molecular weight as opposed to longer chains of peptides and proteins, more difficult to absorb.

Benefits: 4. Carrier effect
Why use Free Amino Acids as a Carrier? 1. Small and neutral molecule2. Penetrate easily3. Don’t require energy to penetrate4. Not linked to chlorophyll activity5. Complexing agent of micronutrients
L-α-amino acids from Tradecorp’s Amino Acids Range have a
complexing capacity with micronutrients (Fe, Zn, Mn, Ca, B & Mo),
improving penetration and assimilation of micronutrients, agrochemical products and fertilizers.

The results of the study indicate that the response of the crop depends on the type of soil and the stage in the crop cycle. However, when Delfan was applied, a trend was observed towards increasing all the parameters in both types of soil, which proves that the application of Delfan promotes the physiological activity, and favours the vigour, resistance and general development of the crop. Delfan performs better with significant differences between both types of soil, between Delfan and the control with regard to the root weight, yield and amount of fruits.
