BiOMEGA®’s TRiCHFECTA+

Proteins are composed of long chains of amino acids that are linked together by peptide bonds. There are 20 different types of amino acids commonly found in proteins, each with unique chemical structures and properties. These amino acids can be arranged in various sequences to form a vast array of proteins with diverse functions. The term “building blocks” refers to the individual components that can be assembled or linked together to create larger structures or molecules. In the context of amino acids, they serve as the building blocks for protein synthesis. During protein synthesis, the genetic information encoded in DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA), which serves as a template for protein production. Of course, such proteins require a complement of specific enzymes to become optimally bioavailable and our PART B BLOOM & MICRO concentrates supply them in abundance. Enzymes play a crucial role in hydroponics by facilitating various biochemical reactions that are essential for plant growth and development. Here are some key functions of enzymes in hydroponics: •Nutrient Breakdown and Availability: Enzymes are involved in breaking down complex organic compounds, such as proteins and carbohydrates into simpler forms that can be readily absorbed and utilized by plants. In hydroponics, enzymes assist in the decomposition of organic matter, such as root exudates or decaying plant material, releasing nutrients in a form that can be easily taken up by the plants’ roots. This enzymatic breakdown enhances nutrient availability and ensures efficient nutrient uptake in hydroponic systems. •Nutrient Conversion and Transformation: Enzymes catalyse the conversion and transformation of nutrient salts. For example, enzymes are responsible for converting nitrogen from ammonium into nitrate that plants prefer for growth. Enzymatic processes also play a role in the conversion of phosphorus, potassium, and other essential nutrients into plant-accessible forms. By facilitating these conversions, enzymes help optimise nutrient utilisation and prevent nutrient deficiencies in hydroponic crops. •Root Zone Health and Nutrient Cycling: Enzymes contribute to the maintenance of a healthy root zone in hydroponics. They help break down and recycle dead root material, releasing valuable nutrients back into the nutrient solution. Enzymes also promote the decomposition of organic matter, preventing the accumulation of organic residues that could lead to root diseases or nutrient imbalances. By aiding in nutrient cycling and root zone health, enzymes support overall plant vigour and optimize nutrient uptake efficiency. •Defence against Pathogens: Enzymes play a role in a plant’s defence against pathogens in hydroponic systems. Some enzymes are involved in the synthesis of antimicrobial compounds, such as phytoalexins, which help plants fend off harmful microorganisms. Additionally, certain enzymes can break down the cell walls of pathogens, weakening their structure and inhibiting their growth. By contributing to plant defence systems, enzymes help protect hydroponic crops from diseases and maintain their health and productivity. •Respiration and Energy Production: Enzymes are crucial for the process of respiration in plants, which involves the breakdown of sugars and the release of energy. Enzymes facilitate the metabolic reactions that convert carbohydrates into usable energy forms, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This energy is essential for various cellular processes, including nutrient uptake, growth, and biosynthesis. Enzymatic activity ensures efficient energy production and utilization, supporting the overall metabolic functions of hydroponic plants. In addition to our unique amino acid blend, our PART B BLOOM & MICRO concentrate also features a comprehensive trace element profile, essential micronutrients that are vital for plant health and optimal growth. These trace elements include: •Iron (Fe): Iron is essential for chlorophyll synthesis, which is critical for photosynthesis and the production of energy in plants. It also plays a role in enzyme activation and is necessary for the formation of new cells and chloroplasts. •Manganese (Mn): Manganese is involved in several enzyme systems, including those responsible for photosynthesis and nitrogen metabolism. It aids in chlorophyll production, carbohydrate metabolism, and the synthesis of fatty acids. •Zinc (Zn): Zinc is required for the synthesis of growth hormones and is involved in enzymatic activity. It plays a crucial role in the formation of chlorophyll, protein synthesis, and the regulation of auxins that influence plant growth and development. •Copper (Cu): Copper is essential for the formation of lignin, a compound that strengthens cell walls and supports plant structures. It is involved in various enzyme systems and also plays a role in photosynthesis, respiration, and the metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins. •Boron (B): Boron is necessary for cell wall formation and stability. It influences calcium uptake and transport within the plant and is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates. Boron also plays a role in pollen formation and seed production. •Molybdenum (Mo): Molybdenum is required for nitrogen metabolism in plants. It aids in the conversion of nitrate into amino acids. Molybdenum is also involved in enzyme systems that facilitate the utilisation of iron. •Nickel (Ni): Nickel is a cofactor for the enzyme urease, which is involved in nitrogen metabolism and the conversion of urea into usable forms of nitrogen in plants. •Chlorine (Cl): Chlorine is involved in photosynthesis and is required for the proper functioning of stomata, which are tiny openings on plant leaves that regulate gas exchange. It plays a role in the transport of water and nutrients within the plant. Our BLOOM & MICRO concentrate offers an array of essential elements for optimal plant nutrition during the flowering and fruiting stages. In addition to its rich content of trace elements, it provides high levels of Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K), as well as abundant Magnesium (Mg) and Sulphur (S), all of which play critical roles in supporting plant growth and development in hydroponics: •Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient that is particularly important during the flowering and fruiting stages. It plays a vital role in energy transfer and storage within the plant. Phosphorus is involved in numerous metabolic processes, including photosynthesis, nutrient transport, and the synthesis of nucleic acids, proteins, and enzymes. By providing high levels of Phosphorus, our nutrient solution ensures that plants have the necessary resources for robust flower and fruit development, resulting in larger, healthier blooms and bountiful harvests. •Potassium (K), another essential macronutrient, is crucial for overall plant health and development. It aids in numerous physiological processes, including the regulation of water uptake and transpiration, enzyme activation, and the synthesis of proteins and carbohydrates. Potassium is particularly important for enhancing the quality of fruits and flowers, promoting colour, flavour, and aroma. By supplying ample Potassium, our nutrient solution supports optimal nutrient uptake, water balance, and the production of high-quality yields. •Magnesium (Mg) is an essential secondary macronutrient that plays a vital role in photosynthesis. It is a central component of the chlorophyll molecule, responsible for capturing light energy and converting it into chemical energy. Magnesium also participates in the activation of enzymes involved in various metabolic reactions. By providing plentiful Magnesium, our nutrient solution ensures efficient photosynthesis, vibrant leaf coloration, and overall healthy plant growth. •Sulphur (S) is another secondary macronutrient that is often overlooked but plays a vital role in plant development. It is an essential component of amino acids, proteins, and enzymes. Sulphur is particularly significant in hydroponics as it contributes to the production of terpenes, aromatic compounds responsible for the flavours and aromas of fruits, herbs, and flowers. By supplying an ample amount of Sulphur, our nutrient solution supports the synthesis of important plant compounds, contributing to enhanced fragrance, taste, and overall quality of the final harvest. pH Ready™ Technology: Our BLOOM concentrate is equipped with our pH Ready™ technology, ensuring the nutrient solution stays within the optimal pH range for your plants. This advanced system maintains the right pH balance, reducing the need for frequent adjustments.
