What Is Manda Amino Alpha?
Manda Amino Alpha is a fertilizer made by adding liquid fertilizer to plant-use Manda Koso.
Plant-use Manda Koso is made by fermenting several dozen ingredients—including natural brownsugar, fruits, root vegetables, cereals, and edible algae—for over three years. Adding to this mix
liquid fertilizer comprising mainly organic materials produces Manda Amino Alpha.
Note: Manda Amino Alpha contains a small amount of chemical fertilizer (urea), so agricultural produce
made using Manda Amino Alpha is not eligible for organic certification in Japan.

Major Benefits

Recommended for People Who...

Vitalizes plants (deeper root growth and improved
intake of nourishing water)

Want to grow their plants healthy and strong

Increases yield
Improves quality
Better taste (higher sugar content, higher palatability
value for rice), higher nutrient content, more vivid color for flowers
Enhances disaster recovery power (from natural disasters such as typhoons)
Prolongs shelf life (keeps freshness longer, delays decreases in palatability
value due to aging)

Spray onto leaves
and roots
Apply to leaves androots using a sprayer
or watering can.

• Manda Amino Alpha is applied to leaves using a sprayer or other such tool.
• It can also be applied to roots via irrigation or injection into the soil.
• Foliar spray generally requires a solution diluted by a factor of 1,000, but it can work effectively with dilution factors
between 500 and 2,000. For vegetative growth, we recommend a dilution factor of between 1,000 and 2,000; forreproductive growth or quality improvement, a dilution factor of 500 is standard.
• When irrigating or injecting, use the same concentration as with foliar spray.
• When a large amount of diluted Manda Amino Alpha needs to be used for spraying, irrigation, or injection, use 300 ml ofManda Amino Alpha per 1,000 m2.
• A watering can would be more convenient and effective for small plants or for plants in the seedling stage.

Points for Effective Application• A rough standard of use is 1 liter of diluted Manda Amino Alpha per 1 m2.
(Increase or decrease the amount according to the size of the plants and the environmental conditions.)• Apply once every seven to ten days.
•Insufficient nourishing water can reduce the effectiveness of Manda Amino Alpha. Be sure to replenish the necessary amountof nourishing water, according to the plant’s growth conditions.

Caution during Use• Manda Amino Alpha contains a fertilizing component so do not use it for immersing seeds or whencutting for plant propagation.
• Take care so that undiluted Manda Amino Alpha solution or highly concentrated Manda Amino Alpha
dilution does not contact plants directly.
• Use Manda Amino Alpha in conjunction with regular fertilization procedures.

How to Use Manda Amino Alpha

Q

What It Is

Put simply, what is Manda Amino Alpha?

A. Manda Amino Alpha is a product designed to bring out the intrinsic vitality of plants. Plants that have been given
Manda Amino Alpha via spraying or irrigating grow healthy and strong.

Q

What is Manda Amino Alpha made from? How is it made?

A. Manda Amino Alpha is made by mixing a fermented botanical product, developed through years of research, withliquid fertilizer. This fermented botanical product is made by utilizing know-how accumulated during the process ofdeveloping Manda Koso—a product we created using our own original fermentation/maturation techniques. Its several
dozen ingredients, which include fruits, cereals, and edible algae, are repeatedly fermented and matured for over threeyears. Manda Amino Alpha is a liquid with a pH of 6.0 (mildly acidic) and a specific gravity of approximately 1.2. The
liquid fertilizer contains organic materials (fish extract, refined gelatin) and its fertilizing component ratio is 5-5-5%.

QActions/Effects

What effects can I expect fromManda Amino Alpha?

A. When sprayed, irrigated, or injected, Manda Amino Alpha enhances plant vitality and the following effects can beexpected.
① Promotes growth (such as deeper root growth) ② Increases yield③ Improves quality • Better taste (higher sugar content, higher palatability value for rice)• Higher nutrient content, such as for vitamin C • More vivid color for flowers④ Enhances disaster recovery power (from natural disasters such as typhoons, floods, and low temperatures)⑤ Prolongs shelf life (keeps freshness longer, delays decreases in palatability value due to aging)

QIs it possible to use Manda Amino Alpha for pesticide-free production
and organic farming?

A. Although Manda Amino Alpha does not by itself enable organic farming, it enhances plant activity and thus
enables plants to grow in a healthy way. We’ve received feedback from around Japan that farmers have halved theirdisease-prevention measures for crops such as tea, apples, pears, strawberries, and tomatoes. We recommend
Manda Amino Alpha for pesticide-free production and reduced-pesticide production. Please note that Manda Amino
Alpha contains a small amount of chemical fertilizer (urea), so agricultural produce made using Manda Amino Alpha isnot eligible for organic certification in Japan.

Q

Does Manda Amino Alpha have any impact on weeds?

A. We have not specifically done tests for impact on weeds, but because Manda
Amino Alpha contains a fertilizer component, weeds can be expected to growstrongly, as is the case with other plants.

Q

Does Manda Amino Alpha exhibit any insecticidal/
antiseptic effects?

A. Manda Amino Alpha does not exhibit direct insecticidal/antiseptic properties. However, it can be expected thatdamage from disease and pests may be reduced, owing to the vigorous growth of treated plants.

QFor what kind of crops is Manda Amino Alpha the most effective?

A. ① It appears that Manda Amino Alpha shows its effectiveness sooner for single-year crops than for perennial crops.
Having said that, using Manda Amino Alpha every year on perennial crops appears to generate a positive cumulative effect.
② It seems Manda Amino Alpha has a stronger effect on indoor crops than on outdoor crops.
