Bio-chemical composition and plant physiology
- High concentration of free amino acids (proline, glycine, glutamic acid) and peptide chains that plants absorb quickly without expenditure of internal energy.
- Proline and glycine betaine act as natural osmolytes, protecting plant cell membranes from dehydration during heat and water stress.
- Enhances chlorophyll synthesis and photosynthetic efficiency, resulting in darker green foliage and improved vegetative vigour.
- Natural chelating effect: Amino acids bind with micronutrients (zinc, iron, calcium), improving their absorption and systemic mobility inside plants.
Critical application stages and agronomic benefits
- Vegetative establishment: Stimulates feeder root development and branch formation in young seedlings.
- Pre-flowering and fruit set: Reduces flower and fruit drop, improving pollination efficiency and overall fruit retention.
- Fruit development and sizing: Promotes uniform fruit enlargement, color development, and overall marketable produce quality.
- Abiotic stress recovery: Helps crops recover rapidly after hail, drought, cold waves, or chemical spray shock.
Application methods and compatibility
Isabion can be applied as a foliar spray using fine mist nozzles or injected into drip irrigation systems (fertigation). It is generally compatible with common fungicides and insecticides, but should not be mixed with copper-based bactericides or sulphur formulations without a preliminary jar test.

Common questions
What is the active composition of Isabion?
Isabion is composed of natural amino acids, short and long-chain peptides, and organic nitrogen derived from controlled enzymatic collagen hydrolysis.
What are the key stages to apply Isabion on crops?
Key stages include vegetative flush, pre-flowering, fruit set, and during recovery after abiotic stress like heat, drought, or frost.
Can Isabion be applied through drip irrigation?
Yes, Isabion is water-soluble and can be applied either as a foliar spray or through drip irrigation to nourish root systems.
