3 to 5 kg per hectare to support buffering, pH and microbial activity
What This Method Covers
Applied to soil rather than to the leaf, amino acid powder works on the root environment: buffering capacity, pH balance and the organic matter that soil biology feeds on. The 35 grade carries ≥ 35% organic matter and the 45 grade ≥ 60%, so the choice of grade changes how much organic matter reaches the soil per kilogram applied.
Step By Step
Set the rate per crop cycle
3 to 5 kg per hectare per crop cycle is the general soil application range, applied as a drench or through irrigation.
Pick the grade by organic matter
Where the objective is soil organic matter rather than free amino acid content, the higher organic matter grades deliver more per kilogram.
Combine with fulvic where wanted
Fulvic acid is supplied as a complementary input at 2 to 5 kg per hectare through drip, and is commonly paired with amino acid programmes.
Apply before the demand period
Soil applications are made per crop cycle rather than on the 10 to 14 day foliar interval.
Confirm local rules
Import, registration and labelling requirements are set by the destination country and are the buyer's responsibility to confirm.

Read moreQuestions About This Method
What do you need from us to recommend a rate?
The application, the target active content, the batch size and the other components of the formulation.
Which grade is normally specified for this method?
Amino Acids 35 is the usual starting point. 3 to 5 kg per hectare per crop cycle is the general soil application range, applied as a drench or through irrigation.
Does the powder dissolve fully in this method?
Water solubility is specified at 100% for the amino acid grades and 99% for Protein Powder, so nothing is left in tanks, drip lines or dosing equipment.
Can we sample before committing?
Yes. Free samples of 200 to 500 g ship with their own batch COA for formulation testing.
What is the lead time for a commercial order?
30 days for regular orders, FOB Shanghai or Qingdao.
