FERMATIVE 30

FERMATIVE 30 combines a 30% fulvic acid fraction with 18% free amino acids in a single liquid biostimulant, so it works on two fronts at once: moving nutrients into the crop and supplying the building blocks the crop uses to grow and recover. Produced by precision fermentation using CORYNESIS Technology, the product supplies free amino acids of consistent, defined composition that plants absorb and put to work directly. The fulvic acids are small, fully soluble molecules that complex nutrients and ease their transport into and within the plant, while the amino acids feed straight into plant metabolism. The nitrogen in the product is held in organic, amino-acid form, so it feeds the crop and supports its metabolism at the same time. With a high organic-matter content, FERMATIVE 30 integrates into foliar spray programs and fertigation systems and suits crops where nutrient-use efficiency and stress recovery drive the program.

Key Benefits

• Improves nutrient uptake and mobility. The fulvic fraction in FERMATIVE 30 complexes mineral nutrients and keeps them soluble and mobile, carrying micronutrients such as iron, zinc and manganese into the plant and within its tissues by natural complexation.
• Energises nutrient transport at the root. Fulvic acids stimulate plasma-membrane H+-ATPase activity, reinforcing the proton gradient that powers the active transport of nutrients across root cell membranes.
• Supplies amino acids the plant can use immediately. The free amino acids are the immediately usable fraction, absorbed and fed straight into nitrogen metabolism and protein synthesis without the crop having to build them from scratch.
• Eases abiotic stress. Amino acids act as osmolytes and signalling molecules during heat, cold, salinity and water stress, helping the crop hold function and recover when its own synthesis slows.
• Conditions the soil and rhizosphere. The high organic-matter load supports rhizosphere activity and nutrient availability around the root, improving the efficiency of the wider fertiliser program.

How It Works

FERMATIVE 30 brings together two distinct biostimulant materials that act through different mechanisms. The fulvic acids are the low-molecular-weight, oxygen-rich fraction of humic substances: fully soluble across the pH range, they complex mineral nutrients into mobile, plant-available forms and stimulate plasma-membrane H+-ATPase activity, which acidifies the rhizosphere and drives the proton-powered transporters that move nitrate and other ions into the root. Their small size also lets them carry complexed micronutrients through the cuticle and into tissue, which is why the fraction is foliar-compatible.

The amino acids work on the plant’s own metabolism rather than on nutrient transport. Taken up ready-made, the free fraction feeds nitrogen assimilation through nitrate reductase and glutamine synthetase, contributes carbon and nitrogen skeletons for protein synthesis, and acts as osmolytes and signalling molecules that help the crop cope under adverse conditions. The two fractions therefore complement each other: the fulvic acids improve how efficiently nutrients reach and enter the plant, and the amino acids support what the plant does with them once inside.

When to Use FERMATIVE 30

Use FERMATIVE 30 where the goal is better nutrient-use efficiency together with stress resilience across the crop cycle.

• Apply FERMATIVE 30 during periods of rapid vegetative growth and early development, when nutrient demand and uptake efficiency matter most.
• Use it alongside micronutrient programs, where the fulvic fraction supports the uptake and mobility of applied trace elements.
• Apply it as part of a recovery program after transplanting or after a stress event, when the crop benefits from both nutrient support and ready-made amino acids.

Adverse conditions such as heat, cold, salinity or drought slow the plant’s own synthesis of amino acids and reduce nutrient uptake, which is the window where supplying both fractions directly has the most value.

Before tank-mixing with other foliar inputs or fertilisers, run a small jar test to confirm physical compatibility under your water conditions.
