Enzymes are catalysts. These start up or accelerate processes without being used up themselves. Enzymes are active soil improvers that have a positive effect on the structure of your substrate. With Plagron Pure Zym you can add fluid enzymes to improve your substrate and help your plant. How does it work?
Most enzymes found in soil have two functions: they break down materials, like dead plant tissue, and they convert these into nutrients. There are many different kinds of enzymes in nature. The most common types in the soil are amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase and chitinase. Each one of these is named for the material they break down: lipase breaks down lipids, which are fats. And cellulase breaks down cellulose, an important part of wood tissue.
Most enzymes come from microbes like bacteria and fungi. But a plant also releases enzymes itself. This is done through its sap, which is released into the soil through the roots. Wherever plants grow, enzymes are present in the soil.
