Description

Algae Plus (Seaweed Fertilizer)

This fertilizer is derived from the Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed species and stimulates plant growth hormones such as auxin. The betaine amino acid in this seaweed fertilizer enhances plant resistance to various stresses. The extract is a rich source of complex polysaccharides, which induce plant resistance to environmental and nutritional stresses. One of the advantages of this organic fertilizer is its ability to improve flowering and fruit coloration. The alginic acid in the seaweed fertilizer reduces the surface tension of water, forming a thin film on plant surfaces, which increases the contact area and facilitates the entry of water-soluble nutrients into plant cells through the cell membrane, enabling plants to efficiently absorb nutrients from the seaweed fertilizer.

Composition

• Amino Acids: 1%
• Potassium: 16%
• Minerals: 8%
• Alginic Acid: 18%
• Organic Matter: 45%

Features

• Increases plant yield.
• Enhances plant resistance to frost and various diseases.
• Improves mineral nutrient absorption from the soil.
• Boosts protein content in plants.
• Significantly strengthens plant resistance to diseases and pests.
• Promotes uniform fruit size.
• Improves fruit taste.

Application Methods

• Vegetables and Leafy Greens (Foliar Spray): 0.8-1 kg per hectare
• Vegetables and Leafy Greens (Irrigation): 1.5-2 kg per hectare
• Fruit Trees (Foliar Spray): 0.8-1 kg per 1000 liters of water
• Fruit Trees (Irrigation): 2-3 kg per hectare

Additional Practical Notes

• Timing: Apply during early vegetative growth, flowering, and fruit set to optimize hormone stimulation and nutrient uptake. Repeat every 10-14 days during stress periods or active growth phases.
• Soil Testing: Test soil nutrient levels prior to application to avoid over-supplying potassium, which may disrupt calcium or magnesium uptake.
• Mixing: Conduct a compatibility test (jar test) when mixing with other fertilizers or pesticides, especially those with high pH, to prevent precipitation or reduced efficacy.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight to maintain the stability of alginic acid and organic matter. Check the product label for shelf-life information.
• Safety: Use protective gear (gloves, goggles) during foliar spraying to avoid irritation. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
• Environmental Care: Apply precise dosages and avoid application before heavy rainfall to prevent nutrient runoff and minimize environmental impact.
• Crop Suitability: Highly effective for crops like tomatoes, strawberries, and citrus, where improved flowering, fruit uniformity, and taste are critical. Verify organic certification if used in organic farming systems.
