PROTEIN HYDROLYSATE / AMINO ACID 
Agriculture production is very intensive business and is related to better quality and better yield 
which leads to better profitability. Every farmer dreams of achieving this goal. However to achieve 
this goal with advancement of technology use of fertilizer and pesticide is not adequate. Now is 
the time to look at bio energetic and bio chemical aspects of plants, to achieve the goal of 
farmers. .
Every plant like any living organism need certain components for growth over and above soil, sun, 
rain, and air. The basic components of living cells is protein, with building block material, amino 
acid. Proteins are formed by sequences of amino acid. Plants synthesize amino acids from the 
primary elements, carbon and oxygen obtained from air, Hydrogen from water in the soil. This 
forms carbon hydrate by means of photosynthesis and by combining it with the nitrogen which 
the plants obtain from the soil, leads to synthesis by amino acid and collateral metabolic 
pathways. Only L amino acids are part of these proteins and have metabolic activity.
The requirement of amino acids in essential quantities is well known as a means to increase yield 
and overall quality of crops. The application of amino acids foliar use is based on its requirement 
by plants in general and at critical stages of growth in particular. Plants absorb amino acids 
through stomas and it is proportionate to environment temperature. 
Foliar nutrition in the form of protein hydrolysate and foliar spray provide readymade building 
block for protein synthesis. Amino acids are also supplied to plant by incorporating in the soil. It 
helps in improving the microflora of the soil facilitating the assimilation of nutrients. Amino acids 
are also supplied to plants by incorporating into the soil. 
Amino acids are fundamental ingredient in the process of protein synthesis. About *0 important 
amino acids are involved in the process and each function. Studies have proved that amino acid 
can directly or indirectly influence the physiological activities of the plants.
