Seaweed extract is 100% water-soluble and is primarily extracted from the ascophyllum nodosum. Contains a variety of balanced nutrients. It can be applied as a foliar application or by irrigation to provide nutrient support, prevent or correct potassium nutrient deficiencies that may limit growth and yield, and improve crop quality, Works with a variety of crops including conventional, organic, turf, and more. Long-term use is recommended as it is a stable source of nutrients for plants and soil microbes. Also helps soil store air and moisture for longer.
It is stable, safe, non-toxic, non-stimulant and easily deliquesce.

Benifits of Seaweed Extract
Global research has yielded various findings on the positive effects of seaweed extracts as fertilizers, including:
When plants were fertilized with seaweed extracts, studies showed: grapes were sweeter; cucumber yields increased by at least 40 percent, and fruit softening and rot were reduced.
Seeds soaked in seaweed extract germinate faster, and the root mass becomes larger, making plants grow stronger and have a higher survival rate. Soaking plant roots in seaweed extract also reduces transplant shock and accelerates root growth;
Alginic acid is rich in seaweed polysaccharides, phenolic polymers, betaine, etc., which can promote the upward and downward transportation of organic and inorganic substances in plants, regulate the osmotic effect of cells, promote crop growth, induce crops to produce anti-stress factors, and improve the body's immune activity , increase crop disease resistance. It also has antiviral and anthelmintic properties. Phenolic polymers, betaine also have anthelmintic and antifungal properties.
There are very important Plant Hormones naturally found in Seaweed.
| Item | Nature Hormones | Functions |
| 1 | Auxin | Balance the growth rate. stimulating growth. also stimulating root growth and preventing shoots from forming or opening at the wrong time. |
| 2 | Cytokinin | Stimulate growth with greater vigour as they mobilize nutrients in the leaves.provide protection from edge frost (up to -3 degrees Celsius). Cytokinins also slow down the senescence (aging process) of plants. |
| 3 | Betaine | Help increase water uptake by the plant and are very helpful in dry conditions. Betaine is also particularly helpful for plants that are under stress. |
Application of Seaweed Extract
The product has no influence with calcium adoption, which have made it safer to apply on low calcium soils. Its capacity to penetrate the plants stomapermits the leaf to accept nutrients very rapidly in foliar applications as well.
Foliar spraying is the most effective and efficient way to apply seaweed extract to plants. Applying to leaves is 8-20 times more effective than sprinkling on soil.
Spray the seaweed extract in a very fine mist until it drips off the surface of the plant's leaves. Plants will absorb nutrients immediately and benefit from the next day.
| Item | Fertilizing Way | Dilution Rates |
| 1 | Foliar spray | 1: 1500-1: 2000 |
| 2 | Root irrigation | 1: 1200-1: 1500 |
