How to boost nutrient content in soil..... SEAWEED

Seaweed Extract

The use of seaweed-based bioproducts has been gaining momentum owing to their unique bioactive components.

Seaweeds have phytostimulatory properties that result in increased plant growth and yield parameters in several important crop plants.

Seaweeds have phytoelicitor activity as their components evoke defense responses in plants that contribute to resistance to several pests, diseases, and abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, and cold.

Seaweeds also evoke phytohormonal responses due to their specific components and interaction with plant growth regulation.

 Seaweed extracts and products also causes significant changes in the microbiome components of soil and plant in support of sustainable plant growth. 

There are many seaweed products in the market. 

These are available in different types but we prefer the liquid formulations which can hence  be sprayed or soil drenched.

Here we are soil drenching.

Use 2 ml to a litre and soil drench.

Happy Gardening!!!
