In the realm of modern agriculture, seaweed fertilizer is making significant waves.
Seaweed fertilizer is a natural and sustainable option.
Seaweed fertilizer is rich in seaweed polysaccharides present in seaweed help retain moisture in the soil,which ensures that plants have a constant supply of water, reducing stress and promoting healthy growth. As a result, the fruits and vegetables grown with seaweed fertilizer are plumper, juicier, and more vibrant in color.
Seaweed fertilizer contains essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and a wide array of trace elements. These nutrients are crucial for the healthy growth and development of plants. When applied to the soil, seaweed fertilizer enhances soil fertility, providing plants with the nourishment they need to thrive.
One of the remarkable features of seaweed fertilizer is its ability to boost plant resistance. It stimulates plants to produce natural defense mechanisms, making them more resilient to diseases, pests, and harsh environmental conditions.
For instance, in vegetable farms, using seaweed fertilizer has been shown to reduce the incidence of common diseases and increase the survival rate of seedlings.
Here are some application examples of seaweed fertilizers:
– In strawberry cultivation, use seaweed fertilizer as a foliar fertilizer. Growers found that treated strawberry plants grew more vigorously and had greener and thicker leaves. Moreover, the sweetness of strawberry fruits has been significantly improved, and the yield has also increased by about 20% – 30%. This is because fertilizers provides rich trace elements to strawberries and at the same time enhances the plant’s ability to absorb nutrients.
– In terms of rice cultivation, seaweed fertilizer is added to irrigation water in some areas prone to saline-alkali stress. The tolerance of rice in saline-alkali environments has been significantly enhanced, and the rate of dead seedlings has been greatly reduced. This is because seaweed extract can regulate the physiological metabolism of rice and reduce the damage of salt-alkali to rice.
New-Nutri Seaweed Extract is extracted from fresh kelp seaweed(algae), wild ascophyllum nodosum. It contains mineral nutrients, vitamins, both macro elements and micro nutrients, which enhance the plant growth. It can be applied as foliar spray or directly applied to the soil as an organic nutrition source and suitable for all crops and applications. Fertilizers derived from seaweeds are found to be superior to chemical fertilizers due to high level of organic matter, micro and macro elements, vitamins and fatty acids. Seaweed Extract can be used with or without chemical fertilizers. New-Nutri Seaweed Extract is certificated by OMRI for organic use in agriculture.
