In recent decades, the importance of the nutritional quality of produce has greatly increased, as more and more people are aware of the importance of a healthy diet for their health and well-being.

Farmers are looking for ways to enhance the nutritional value of their produce and are thus faced with the challenge of how to naturally improve the nutritional value of their yield, while at the same time maintaining high production and sustainable farming. One of the best and most effective methods to achieve these goals is to use 100% natural biostimulants such as Biostimax^®. In this blog we will explain in detail how Biostimax^® works, why it is effective and how it can benefit your farm.
 
What is Biostimax^®?
Biostimax^® is an innovative and cutting edge biostimulant based on a precise mix of micronized minerals and other trace elements with increased bioavailability. It was developed using AMT's proprietary advanced micronization technology, which allows the mineral particles to be extremely small therefore micronized and thus more easily accessible to plants. This technology enables better nutrient absorption and efficiency, which in turn leads to better plant growth and development.
 
What are the effects of using Biostimax^®?
One of the main effects of using Biostimax^® is a significant and notable acceleration of the photosynthesis process in all plants that develop leaves. Photosynthesis is the key process by which plants convert sunlight into chemical energy, enabling their growth and development. Accelerated and enhanced photosynthesis has many positive effects on plant vegetation and on the formation, quantity and quality of crops. It means that plants produce the energy they need to grow faster and more efficiently. This leads to faster growth and more lush vegetation. Plant leaves become larger, greener and better shaped, increasing their ability to absorb sunlight and further improve photosynthesis. As a result, plants are healthier and more resistant to stressful conditions such as drought or extreme temperatures. With higher photosynthetic efficiency, plants produce more nutrients, which leads to larger and better-quality crops. Fruits are richer in vitamins, minerals and other useful substances, which increases their nutritional value. In addition, the fruits are also tastier, which is important for consumers.
 
Together with the enhanced photosynthesis process, using Biostimax^® also leads to an enhanced biosynthesis process. To better understand the effects of Biostimax^®, let's focus on a study carried out on a grapevine leaf. The results of this study showed significant differences between leaves treated with Biostimax^® and those that were not treated.

In leaves treated with Biostimax^®, chloroplasts, which are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis, are larger and more regularly shaped. This allows more efficient conversion of sunlight into energy, which increases the plant's productivity. Together with the larger chloroplast also an increased number of polyphenols can be found in the structure. 

Polyphenols are important antioxidants that play a key role in protecting plants from the harmful effects of free radicals. The study showed that leaves treated with Biostimax^® contain a higher number of polyphenols, which increases their resistance to stress and disease. Leaves treated with Biostimax^® also contain more protein, indicating increased metabolic activity in the plant. Proteins are crucial for the growth and development of plants, as they participate in many biochemical processes.
 
Biostimax^® increases the quantity and quality of crops, which means more income for farmers. The higher nutritional value of crops is important for the health of their consumers, which increases the demand for such crops. As Biostimax^® increases plant resistance to diseases and pests, there is less need to use chemical fertilizers and pesticides. This is beneficial for the environment and the health of the people who consume the produce.
