γ-Polyglutamic Acid (γ-PGA)

γ-Polyglutamic Acid (γ-PGA) is a highly effective bioactive polymer derived from Bacillus subtilis natto, developed through advanced fermentation technology. It enhances nutrient absorption, water retention, and soil health, promoting strong root development and higher crop yields. γ-PGA also improves soil pH balance, chelates heavy metals, and boosts plant resistance to stress and diseases. Ideal for use in fertilizers and biostimulants, it significantly increases agricultural productivity.

Source of Strain

Derived from a high-yield Bacillus subtilis natto strain exclusively screened and genetically improved by UC Davis. This advanced strain results in:

  • Higher content of γ-PGA.
  • Enrichment in beneficial metabolic products, enhancing agricultural applications.

Additionally, the precision fermentation process ensures:

  • Lower molecular weight, making it more suitable for agricultural production.
  • Enhanced absorption by crops, leading to faster effects and better outcomes.

Production Process

Bacillus subtilis natto → Glutamic Acid → Fermentation Control → Metabolic Products

Key Agricultural Benefits of γ-Polyglutamic Acid

1. Outstanding Water and Fertilizer Retention

  • Forms a protective layer on root hairs, serving as an optimal platform for nutrient and moisture transport.
  • Enhances the dissolution, storage, transport, and absorption of fertilizers.
  • Prevents the precipitation of sulfates, phosphates, and oxalates with metal elements, ensuring better absorption of phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and trace elements.
  • Promotes root development and improves fertilizer efficiency.

2. Soil pH Regulation

  • Exhibits excellent buffering capacity, balancing soil pH.
  • Prevents soil acidification caused by prolonged use of chemical fertilizers.

3. Chelation of Toxic Heavy Metals

  • Effectively binds and reduces the toxicity of heavy metals in the soil, improving soil health.

4. Enhanced Plant Disease Resistance & Stress Tolerance

  • Boosts resistance against drought, flooding, cold, and diseases.
  • Reduces soil-borne diseases, improving overall crop health.

5. Promotes Crop Growth & Increases Yield

  • Enhances crop growth vigor and overall productivity.
  • Increases yield by 15-30% in crops like tea, fruits, and vegetables
