In the first half of this year, the Henan region was affected by severe weather conditions, with drought in the early stage and flooding in the later stage. Peanut production faced severe challenges, especially in the case of repeatedly planted peanuts for decades, which were widely affected by the disease and had a significant impact on yield and quality. But the peanut base of Henan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, located in Zhengyang County, Zhumadian, Henan Province, is lush and green, with tall and strong plants and lush green leaves, presenting a good "abundant" scene in the fields.
On October 3-4, Elekom (China) Company, along with experts from Henan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, local agents, and large-scale growers, visited the base to uncover the new agricultural technologies behind it.

Rejuvenating New Life in Adversity

Observing the scene, the strong contrast attracts the attention of the crowd. The plot adjacent to the demonstration field was extensively infected with bacterial wilt, resulting in the death of whole peanut plants. Pulling it out, it was found that the root system of the plant was generally dead and rotten, and the peanut pods were few and small. However, the demonstration field was a bit "astonishing" and there was basically no occurrence of bacterial wilt disease. Upon closer inspection, the peanut stem is thick and strong, supporting the lush branches and leaves. Pulling out a few plants randomly, it can be seen that the root system of the plants is well-developed, the number of rhizobia is significantly increased, the fruits are full and uniform, and the pods are both large and numerous.

According to Wang Zhenyu, an expert from the Henan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Zhengyang County is a major peanut planting county, with a peak planting area of 2 million acres in previous years. Due to decades of continuous planting, the diseases of peanut wilt, root rot, and white silk in Zhengyang have become increasingly severe, and the difficulty of prevention and control has increased. This year, the planting area has been reduced to about 1 million mu. To overcome this challenge, in 2024, a team of academicians from the Henan Academy of Agricultural Sciences collaborated with Elekom (China) on a peanut disease resistance and yield increase project. Following the "one mix, three sprays" plan in the main peanut producing areas of Henan Province, they used APE+patented products of active peptidase to enhance peanut disease resistance, improve peanut yield and quality.

It is precisely through the use of APE+patented active peptidase products that the demonstration field has shown such vitality. Faced with the comparison of the effects in front of him, the joy of the demonstration field owner was overflowing: "Look, peanuts that use APE+patented products with active peptidase do not have yellow leaves, their roots are so thick, and they produce many fruits, especially large ones. This year's weather is not good, but peanut production will not be affected. APE+patented products with active peptidase are really good

Establishing a milestone in the application of biological enzymes in agriculture
As the founder of this product, Alexam has over 30 years of research achievements in the field of biological enzymes, 16 global invention patents, and a research and development headquarters located in Germany, specializing in the development and application innovation of active peptidase APE+technology. The active peptidase APE+(active small molecule peptide complex enzyme) developed by it has established the earliest and most widely used milestone in the field of biological enzymes.
Alexam's raw material center is located in Egypt, relying on the advantages of desert extreme environmental resources to engage in biological extraction and industrial production of active peptidase APE+core raw materials. In recent years, Alexam's active peptidase APE+products have begun to enter China, serving the development of green agriculture and tapping into the enormous potential of efficient agriculture in China.
Elekom (China) company introduced that the APE+patented product of active peptidase has comprehensive nutrition, and the photosynthetic protease in the product can accelerate the process of crop photosynthesis and improve the efficiency of photosynthesis; Nitrogenase has special effects in preventing and controlling early yellowing and premature aging of crops in the later stage; Rich in small molecule peptidases, they can penetrate the vascular bundles of plants, enabling them to quickly and actively absorb nutrients; PLT transcription enzyme repairs damaged roots and promotes root regeneration after damage; Extreme enzymes enable crops to resist stress and promote growth under harsh environmental conditions such as drought, flooding, and salt damage; The use of oxidoreductases can promote pesticide absorption, improve efficacy, reduce drug residues caused by blind overuse, promote healthier crop growth, and make agricultural products safer to consume.

Embark on the era of 'crop intelligence' growth

Enzymes are biological catalysts, without enzymes there is no life. They dominate the metabolism, nutrition, and energy conversion processes of all living organisms. The future development of agricultural planting will largely depend on the potential performance of crops in terms of health, yield increase, quality improvement, and stress resistance, all of which cannot be separated from enzymes.

Active peptidase APE+has the characteristics of high efficiency, specificity, functionality, complexity, and automatic regulation. In the fertilizer formula and usage plan, if biological enzymes are added, it can quickly and effectively promote the intelligent absorption and conversion of nutrients by crops, and intelligently allocate nutrients to the parts where crop growth needs them most, relieve nutrient antagonism, and improve fertilizer utilization efficiency.
Alexam's goal is to usher in the era of "crop intelligence" growth, achieving quality control throughout the entire process of agricultural products from farmland to dining tables. The application effect of active peptidase APE+in planting tells us that the future of agriculture lies not in simply increasing inputs, but in intelligently stimulating the potential of crops themselves. As Alexam has stated, we are entering a good era of 'enzymes'. In this era, we will witness a tremendous transformation in agricultural production methods and see the gradual formation of greener, healthier, and more efficient agricultural ecosystems. Active peptidase APE+is like a magical key that unlocks the "gene expression code" from the crop itself, and will play an increasingly important role in stimulating crop growth potential. (Chen Qiong)
