Fermented Alfalfa Lucerne
High Saponin
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a highly valued forage crop known for its numerous benefits in agriculture. Below is a detailed list of its benefits, plant growth regulators (PGRs), enzymes, hormones, and other agricultural advantages:
Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs)
-
Auxins:
- Promote root elongation and differentiation.
- Enhance root biomass, improving nutrient and water uptake.
-
Gibberellins:
- Stimulate stem elongation and leaf expansion.
- Enhance seed germination and early seedling growth.
-
Cytokinins:
- Promote cell division and shoot formation.
- Delay leaf senescence, extending the productive lifespan of the plant.
-
Abscisic Acid (ABA):
- Regulates stress responses, particularly during drought conditions.
- Induces stomatal closure to reduce water loss.
Enzymes
-
Nitrogenase:
- Involved in nitrogen fixation, converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form usable by the plant (ammonia).
-
Peroxidase:
- Protects the plant from oxidative stress and pathogen attack.
- Involved in lignin biosynthesis, strengthening cell walls.
-
Nitrate Reductase:
- Catalyzes the reduction of nitrate to nitrite, a critical step in nitrogen assimilation.
Hormones
-
Ethylene:
- Regulates fruit ripening and leaf abscission.
- Modulates responses to biotic and abiotic stresses.
-
Jasmonic Acid:
- Plays a role in plant defense mechanisms against herbivores and pathogens.
- Involved in the regulation of growth and reproductive development.
-
Salicylic Acid:
- Essential for systemic acquired resistance (SAR) against pathogens.
- Modulates plant responses to stress and enhances disease resistance.
Recommended Usage:
