A series of scientific insights on potential of shrimp co-products.
Animal-derived Hydrolyzed Proteins (AHPs) have been produced and commercialized since the 1970s, with a well-documented history of promoting plant growth. Their primary functions include enhancing nutrient absorption efficiency, supporting plant responses to stress, and improving soil properties. Globally, hydrolyzed protein products rank as the third-largest category of plant growth stimulants by market size, following seaweed extracts and humic compounds. Chiara Pituello and colleagues have synthesized findings from 102 studies on plant-environment interactions, providing a comprehensive overview of the potential of AHPs in promoting plant growth.
