7. Do they have peptides? Yes.
8. Where does the ammoniacal nitrogen come from? Is that fermentation quantity possible?
   TOTAL NITROGEN It is obtained by the fermentation and concentration of the different components of the product:
   AMMONIACAL NITROGEN Obtained by ammonification of the organic nitrogen present in the amino acids, this process is carried out by the bacterial content of our product.
   Ammonium is produced naturally in the environment, it is called ammonification processes, for example, the organic nitrogen present in amino acids can end up in the form of ammonium, and this is not of industrial origin.
   Ammonification: Is the conversion of organic nitrogenous compounds into ammonia, it starts when the organisms produce waste such as urea (urine) and uric acid (bird wastes), substances that are degraded to be released as ammoniacal nitrogen in the abiotic environment. The ammonia is available for the processes of nitrification and assimilation. The nitrogen present in the soil is the result of the decomposition of organic materials and is in the form of complex organic compounds, such as proteins, amino acids, nucleic acids, and nucleotides, which are degraded to simple compounds by microorganisms – bacteria and fungi – that are found in the soil. These microorganisms use proteins and amino acids to produce their proteins and release excess nitrogen in the form of ammonia (NH3) or ammonium ions (NH4+).
9. How many days can the product remain in a solution tank mixed with water? Depending on the conditions of temperature, it can remain intact for 3-4 days.
10. What are secondary metabolites? Secondary metabolites are low molecular weight compounds that not only have great ecological importance because they participate in adaptation processes to their environments, such as the establishment of symbiosis with other organisms and the attraction of pollinating insects and dispersers of seeds and fruits, but also, an active synthesis of secondary metabolites is induced when the plants are exposed to adverse conditions.
    Therefore, they have great importance to help overcome moments of stress in the crop.
    The secondary metabolites of Bombardier are excreted by the microorganisms during the fermentation process.

1. What are radicular exudates? The radicular exudates are rich carbon compounds, produced by plants to favor microorganism installation in the soil. These compounds are selective, favoring microorganism proliferation related to the crop. These microorganisms secrete natural phytohormones and other compounds to the rhizosphere that are used by plants.

1. What does the glycine-betaine do? Glycine-betaine is a non-ionic compound that plants synthesize as an adaptive response to situations of water deficit, producing an osmo-protective effect at a cellular level.
   The osmo-protective effect is a series of responses in the plant triggered when they are subjected to water stress to protect themselves from dehydration.
   In summary, at a cellular level, by decreasing the amount of water in the medium, a flow of water from the cytoplasm to the outside of the membrane occurs, producing a loss of turgor in the tissues and a decrease in the photosynthetic rate of the cell. The plant the synthesizes substances to compensate for the concentration of solutes in the cytoplasm with the external environment and avoid excessive loss of water from the cells.
2. Is it an amino acid? No, it is a quaternary amine
