Problem; after 22 years of irrgating with effluent water, the fairways at White Pines GC began to die from a tremendous buildup of sodium in the soil, which had a high pH. Solution; the use of amino acid products provides the turf with more energy to pull nutrients and water from the soil more effectively.

Adding amino acids may allow plants to adapt to saline conditions. A protein enzyme hydrolysate was applied to young Reviga cultivar melon plants in saline conditions. This produced an increase in plant height, leaf area, etc., depending on the levels of salinity used and the quantity of amino acids applied.
It is well known that there is a large increase in some amino acids, such as proline, that are produced in the cytoplasm of plant cells under conditions of high salinity and that this effect plays a very important role in the osmotic shock that occurs in these situations. The results show that the application of amino acids favours both a correct balance of the different nutrients in the leaves and higher final production, as it reduces the damage caused by high salinity.
