Utilising the benefits of organic hormones from plant extracts in fertilisers
One application that is gaining recognition is the use of organic hormones derived from plant extracts in fertilizers.
Organic hormones offer numerous benefits, including improved plant growth and development, increased resistance to stressors, improved nutrient uptake and reduced environmental impact. In this article, we explore the benefits of using organic hormones from plant extracts in fertilizers and their potential to revolutionize today's crop production.
Gen1:11 is enriched with various plant extracts that naturally include the following plant hormones: auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, triacontanol and salicylic acid. In addition, our extracts also contain vitamins, amino acids, humates, silicon, etc....

Organic hormones from plant extracts, such as auxins, cytokinins and gibberellins, play an important role in regulating various physiological processes in plants. When incorporated into fertilizers, these hormones can stimulate cell division, elongation and differentiation, resulting in improved root and shoot growth. By encouraging the growth of healthy plant tissues, organic hormones contribute to improved crop yields, better quality products and higher overall productivity.
Triacontanol
One particular plant hormone with proven benefits is triacontanol. Triacontanol has been found to significantly enhance photosynthesis in plants. It activates the enzymes involved in photosynthesis, leading to increased chlorophyll production and enhanced carbon dioxide assimilation. This hormone promotes the efficient conversion of sunlight into chemical energy, resulting in a higher rate of photosynthesis and more biomass for the plant. By including triacontanol in fertilizers, growers can optimize the photosynthetic capacity of crops, thereby improving overall growth and productivity.
Plant hormones are versatile chemical regulators of plant growth
Salicylic acid
Salicylic acid is known for its ability to activate plant defense mechanisms, enhancing plant immunity to various diseases, pests and pathogens. When plants are exposed to salicylic acid, they activate a series of biochemical reactions that strengthen their natural defenses. This hormone triggers the production of antimicrobial compounds, such as phytoalexins, which inhibit the growth of pathogens. In addition, salicylic acid increases the production of defense genes and promotes the synthesis of pathogenic proteins that help fight disease. By incorporating salicylic acid from the bark of the white willow into fertilisers, growers can provide plants with a natural defense mechanism.
More efficient uptake of nutrients
Organic hormones aid in the efficient uptake and utilization of essential nutrients by plants. For example, auxins facilitate the uptake of mineral nutrients, especially phosphorus, by increasing root surface area and promoting root branching. Cytokinins, on the other hand, enhance the translocation of nutrients within plants, leading to better distribution and more efficient use of nutrients. By incorporating organic hormones into fertilisers, farmers can optimize nutrient uptake, reduce fertilizer waste and minimize nutrient leaching, leading to cost savings and reduced environmental pollution.
Improvement of stress resistance
Plants often face various environmental stressors such as drought, heat, salinity and disease. Organic hormones derived from plant extracts have been shown to improve the stress resistance of plants. By including organic hormones in fertilizers, growers can strengthen the resistance of their beloved creations and ensure more stable and reliable harvests.
Fortunately, the use of synthetic hormones is usually banned. Organic hormones derived from plant extracts offer a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative. These hormones are biodegradable and pose no risk to soil organisms, aquatic ecosystems and human health. By using biological hormones in fertilisers, growers can promote crop health and increase yield and quality.
Conclusion:
The inclusion of biological hormones derived from plant extracts in fertilizers offers numerous benefits to any grower. These hormones contribute to improved plant growth and development, more efficient nutrient uptake, increased stress tolerance and reduced environmental impact. In our quest to optimize the quality of our organic-mineral fertilizers, harnessing the power of organic hormones offers an exciting opportunity to revolutionize the way we grow beloved creations.
