Bio-Chemical Composition and Amino Acid Profile
Isabion is produced through controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of animal protein collagen, yielding a rich mixture of free L-amino acids, short-chain peptides, and organic nitrogen.
Unlike plant-derived extracts with bulky structural fibers, animal-collagen peptides are pre-digested and biologically active, enabling rapid cellular assimilation through foliar stomata and root epidermis without expenditure of plant energy.
- Active composition: Pure animal-derived free L-amino acids and short-chain peptides (peptones)
- Total organic matter: High concentration of biologically available organic nitrogen and carbon
- Regulatory classification: Approved agricultural bio-stimulant under the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO)
- Uptake dynamics: Rapid absorption across leaf cuticles within hours of foliar application
Physiological Modes of Action in Crops
When absorbed by plant tissues, Isabion serves as direct building blocks for enzymatic synthesis, eliminating the energy cost of synthesizing amino acids from basic inorganic nitrates.
Specific amino acids like proline and glycine act as potent cellular osmolytes, protecting membranes and chloroplasts against abiotic stresses such as drought, extreme temperature shifts, and chemical herbicide stress.
- Stress alleviation: Proline accumulation protects against osmotic shock, heat stress, and water deficits
- Floral retention: Enhances pollen grain viability, stigma receptivity, and reduces premature flower drop
- Fruit sizing: Promotes cell division and uniform fruit enlargement in horticultural produce
- Nutrient chelation: Natural peptides chelate micronutrients, accelerating trace element uptake
Application Methods and Stage-Specific Scheduling
Isabion is optimized for foliar spraying and micro-irrigation fertigation across field crops, open-field vegetables, and fruit orchards.
Schedule applications to coincide with critical physiological demand periods, such as active vegetative branching, flower bud initiation, fruit set, and immediately following abiotic stress events.
- Vegetative stage: Stimulates vigorous root architecture and active canopy branching
- Pre-flowering stage: Maximizes floral initiation, pollen viability, and fruit set percentage
- Fruit development: Accelerates uniform berry, pod, or tuber sizing and skin luster
- Tank compatibility: Compatible with most neutral agrochemicals and water-soluble fertilizers

Common questions
What is the primary difference between Isabion and chemical fertilizers?
Chemical fertilizers supply inorganic N-P-K minerals, whereas Isabion delivers pre-formed organic amino acids and peptides that save metabolic energy and boost stress resilience.
Can Isabion be mixed with insecticides and fungicides?
Yes, Isabion is widely compatible with most standard crop protection insecticides and fungicides; avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture.
How does Isabion help crops recover after drought or hailstorms?
Its readily available amino acids like proline restore cellular turgor, stimulate protein repair mechanisms, and trigger new vegetative flush development.
