Malted Rye Powder

Malted rye powder serves as a specialty horticultural input that leverages the biochemical richness of sprouted and fermented rye to support soil life and plant vitality. It acts as a natural root and flower promoter, helping plants establish vigorous roots and support abundant flowering.

Enzyme Profile

Enzyme Function Horticultural Benefit
α-Amylase (Alpha-amylase) Randomly cleaves starch chains into dextrins, maltose, and glucose Fast starch breakdown → quick energy for soil microbes and roots
β-Amylase (Beta-amylase) Releases maltose sugars from the ends of starch chains Major source of fermentable/simple sugars
Proteases Breaks proteins into peptides and amino acids Improves nitrogen availability and plant nutrition
Limit Dextrinase Breaks down branched starch fragments Completes starch conversion for better nutrient release
β-Glucanase Degrades β-glucans in cell walls Improves soil structure and organic matter decomposition
Phytase Releases bound phosphorus from phytic acid Increases phosphorus availability to plants

Malted Barley Powder

Malted Barley Powder is a finely ground, enzyme-rich powder produced by our signature process. It is a highly effective natural soil amendment and biostimulant that promotes rapid growth and helps create systemic resistance in plants.

Enzyme Profile

Enzyme Function Key Role in Plants / Soil
α-Amylase (Alpha-amylase) Randomly breaks down starch into dextrins, maltose, and glucose Rapid starch degradation; improves nutrient availability in soil
β-Amylase (Beta-amylase) Releases maltose (sugar) from starch chains Provides readily usable sugars for microbes and roots
Proteases (Proteinases) Breaks down proteins into amino acids Releases nitrogen and amino acids for plant uptake
Limit Dextrinase Further breaks down branched starch fragments Completes starch conversion
Glucanases (e.g., β-glucanase) Degrades β-glucans in cell walls Improves soil structure and microbial access to nutrients
