Living soil starts here
Organically malted Barley and Rye powders — packed with enzymes, nutrients, and beneficial microbes for Canadian growers.
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 | 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 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 | 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 |
