Product Overview
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and, in free form, the most readily absorbed nitrogen source a plant or an animal can take up. JINGFENG’s amino acid range is produced from plant protein (soybean) or animal protein by acid or enzymatic hydrolysis, which breaks the protein chain down into free amino acids, short peptides and water-soluble nitrogen. The result is a 100% water-soluble input used as a foliar and fertigation biostimulant, a chelating agent for trace elements, and a feed-grade protein source.
30% Amino Acid Round Granule is the answer to the one real drawback of amino acid powders: dust, caking and the fact that they do not flow through a spreader. Granulating the same hydrolysate gives a hard, uniform, free-flowing granule with 2% moisture that spreads cleanly with conventional machinery and blends with granular NPK without segregating — and it still dissolves completely when you want it in solution.
The analysis is unchanged: ≥ 30% total amino acids across a balanced spectrum of seventeen L-amino acids, with ≥ 7% total nitrogen, and heavy metals held to the limits in the specification table. Proline leads the profile at around 7.9%, which is the amino acid plants accumulate under drought, salinity and temperature stress.
It is used as a base dressing or top-dressing broadcast by machine, placed in holes or furrows for fruit trees and vegetables, dissolved for drip and flushing programmes, and mixed into seedling substrate at 1:100.
Key Benefits
≥ 30.0% total amino acids
A hard, free-flowing round granule carrying ≥ 30% total amino acids and ≥ 7% total nitrogen — spread it by machine like a fertiliser, and it still dissolves completely when you want it in solution.
Spreads mechanically
A uniform round granule that flows through spinner spreaders and fertiliser drills without bridging.
Low dust
Granulation keeps fines down, which is easier on the operator and on blending equipment.
Slow, even release
The granule breaks down in the soil and releases amino acids around the root zone.
Blends with NPK
A granule size that blends evenly with conventional granular fertilisers.

Each lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis stating the tested total amino acids, free amino acids, total nitrogen, chloride and heavy metals against the stated Chinese industry standards.

Form & Solubility
Form: a uniform, free-flowing round granule that spreads cleanly and does not cake in the bag.
In water: dissolves readily in water when agitated, so it works both as a spread granule and as a soluble input.
Handling: low dust, suitable for mechanical spreaders and for blending with granular NPK.
Why proline leads the profile. Proline is the amino acid plants accumulate under drought, salinity and temperature extremes — it acts as an osmoprotectant and an antioxidant. At around 7.9% of the hydrolysate it is the largest single fraction here, which is why this granule is often chosen for dryland and stress-prone programmes rather than purely for its nitrogen.
Using it as a solution. Despite being a granule it dissolves fully. For a foliar spray or a drip feed, dissolve it in water first and only apply once the solution is clear — no undissolved particle should reach a nozzle or a dripper.

Applications & Dosage
For field crops, cash crops, fruit, vegetables and ornamentals, in open field and under protection, and for any programme that is mechanised. One to two broadcast applications per season is the base programme; two to three soluble applications per season where it is used through irrigation.
| Application | How to use | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical broadcasting | Spread as a base dressing before sowing or transplanting, or as a top-dressing at tillering, jointing and flowering. | 300 – 450 kg/ha |
| Hole or furrow application | Place in the root zone before transplanting or early in growth; supplement once at fruit expansion. | 0.3 – 0.5 kg/plant |
| Flushing and drip irrigation | Dissolve fully first, then apply at seedling, flowering and fruit expansion every 10–15 days. | 1:500 – 1:800 |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage over an amino acid powder?
Handling. The granule is dust-free, does not cake, flows through a spinner spreader or a drill, and measures and blends accurately. It solves the practical problems of powder — dust, caking and poor flow — while keeping the same analysis and the same complete solubility.
Are the amino acids in the L-form?
Yes. All seventeen are in the L-form, which is the biologically active form plants use directly for protein synthesis and metabolism, so no conversion step is needed.
Can it be used as a foliar spray?
Yes, but dissolve it fully first and only spray once the solution is clear. Once dissolved it performs like any soluble amino acid input.
What rate should I broadcast?
300 to 450 kg per hectare is the usual range for soil application, depending on crop and soil. Start at the lower end, and use 0.3 to 0.5 kg per plant for fruit trees placed in the root zone.
Is it suitable for organic farming?
Amino acids from hydrolysis are accepted in organic systems in many markets. Check with your local certifying body and ask us for the technical data they need.
How quickly will I see a response?
Through foliar or fertigation, improved colour and vigour are usually visible within five to seven days, because the free amino acids are taken up and used directly.
Can it be blended with granular NPK?
Yes — that is one of its main uses. The uniform granule size and hardness bulk-blend evenly with conventional granular fertilisers without segregation.
How is it packed and how long does it keep?
Standard pack is a 20 kg or 25 kg bag with inner liner, with jumbo bags for bulk. At 2% moisture and high granule hardness it stores well: over two years in the sealed original bag in a cool, dry place.
