The pore size in the cell walls of plant roots and leaves varies from 3.5 to 5.2 nm. With a molecule length of 5.3–6.4 nm for fulvic acids and 9.4–10.7 nm for humic acids, the transfer of these compounds in the cell walls is very difficult. Too small part of the molecules of humic substances enters the cell - a spontaneous amount of low-molecular-weight fragments. The consequence of this is the instability of the properties of fertilizers containing humic substances. To solve this problem and ensure the guaranteed passage of most of the humic substances into the plant cell through the cell membrane, we have implemented a method of grinding long humic chains into short ones.
WHY SHOULD HUMIC MOLECULES BE GRINDED?
Diffusion of macromolecules into the plant cell, the mass of which significantly exceeds 15–20 KD, is very difficult. Moreover, passive transport through the pores in the cell membrane is difficult even for hydrated K + ions with a diameter of 0.34 nm, and facilitated diffusion and active transport are substate-specific processes. The transfer of long humic chains (macromolecules) in the cell walls of plants is always hindered by:
- fixation of large molecules of humic substances on the surfaces of channels in the cell wall, reducing the effective
pore diameter; - negative charge existing in the cell wall and causing ionic exclusion of negatively charged molecules of humic substances;
- effective binding to the components of the cell wall due to numerous hydrogen and hydrophobic interactions.
WHY CHELATOR?
The molecular structure, synthesized in a form easily accessible to plants, thanks to its chelating action, facilitates, accelerates and efficiently assimilates nutrients by plants. Nutrition and other feeding is optimized, the consumption of mineral fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides is reduced. The drug effectively activates the growth and development of plants at all phenophases, has a broad anti-stress effect. There is a rapid strengthening and growth of the root system, root rot is suppressed.
"Cytohumate" ® Professional allows you to transform nutrients into forms that are easily assimilated by plants, maximizing the full potential of the plant, facilitates the transport of nutrients at the cellular level, thereby stimulating growth and maturation. The preparation contains a large amount of stimulating and anti-stress natural components, which reliably increases the resistance of plants in extreme conditions, allows them to better tolerate drought, frost and disease.
The pronounced chelating effect consists in the implementation of a chemical mechanism for the transport of chelated mineral compounds in plant cells treated with the drug, which ensures the complete assimilation of the introduced nutrients.
Chelates, chelate compounds (lat. Chelate - claw) - intracomplex claw-like connections. Cytohumate launches a chelation process by which mineral substances are bound, clamped like claws with amino acids and converted into an easily digestible form. Complexes of organic substances with mineral nutrients are formed (organomineral complexes - chelates), which facilitates the assimilation of the latter by plants. Mineral substances are combined with amino acids, which is vital for these substances to be absorbed and used by the plant. Minerals are thus much more easily absorbed and utilized by the plant. Chemically, chelation is the capture of a metal ion and converting it into a chelating complex. Minerals in their unchelated form are poorly absorbed and must first undergo certain biochemical transformations to form chelates before they can be beneficial to the plant. The digestibility of chelated minerals is 5-10 times higher than that of non-chelated ones. In addition to the general chelating effect of Cytohumate, the manufacturers' technology allows to obtain already chelated minerals in the preparation, which guarantees their correct digestibility, safety of use and reduces the risk of overdose. Elements such as iron, calcium, chromium, zinc are better absorbed in the form of chelates.
