Seaweed Extract ‘Marine Magic’ Soluble Kelp Fertilizer Supplement

SEAWEED EXTRACT ‘MARINE MAGIC’ DRY SOLUBLE ASCOPHYLLUM EXTRACT

Soluble Seaweed Extract, ‘Marine Magic’ is a soluble powder made from the seaplant Ascophyllum nodosum harvested from North Atlantic waters. It provides natural plant hormones and micro-nutrients to your plants. Use on all vegetables, berries, fruits, flowers, lawns and houseplants. Benefits: Improves seed germination and increases root development. Promotes bloom set, new buds and size of flowers and fruit. Relieves stress in plants caused by extreme weather conditions. Increases plant vigor, and and strength to combat extreme weather. Builds soil structure and properties. Aids mineral uptake from the soil and into the plant. Extends shelf life of fruits, vegetables and flowers. Lengthens the production season by slowing senescence.

Size: 1.5 oz (43 grams) of soluble seaweed extract. Makes 128 gallons (484 liters) of organic liquid feed.

Seaweed extracts are widely used as plant growth regulators in agriculture and horticulture for the improvement of plant growth and development. This study investigated the effects of rockweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) extract application method (foliar spray or substrate drench) and rate on growth and postharvest drought tolerance of petunia (Petunia hybrida) and tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) transplants grown in a commercial peat/perlite substrate. Foliar sprays significantly affected growth of petunia and tomato, but did not improve drought tolerance of petunia and tomato. Whereas, substrate drenches significantly improved drought tolerance of petunia and tomato compared with the control. Shoot fresh weight (FW), shoot dry weight (DW), root index (RI), and chlorophyll index (SPAD) of petunia and tomato increased significantly with increasing concentration of foliar spray rate up to 5 mL·L⁻¹, but did not change significantly with further higher foliar spray rates. Weekly substrate drenches at 20 mL·L⁻¹ significantly decreased FW, DW, RI, and SPAD values of petunia and tomato. In this study, substrate drenching at 5–10 mL·L⁻¹ significantly increased the flower number of petunia and tomato. The results of this study suggested that substrate drenches at 5–10 mL·L⁻¹ are appropriate for the improvement of postharvest life of petunia and tomato transplants, and that foliar applications can increase plant growth.
