Seaweed Extract (cold-processed)

Seaweed extract – premium  concentrate

• Cold-processed, flash-pasteurised. This protects the bioactive compounds found in the raw seaweed fronds (leaves).
• Extracted from 100% Ascophyllum nodosum (Knotted Wrack) sustainably harvested from the shores of the British Isles. Ascophyllum nodosum is widely regarded as the best algal species for use as a plant biostimulant.
• Use as a biostimulant on young plants during establishment. 
• Seaweed extracts are proven to help plants resist environmental stresses, such as cold temperatures or drought conditions.
• The natural sugar alcohols (e.g. mannitol) will also help the plant transport the important nutrient boron.
• Exclusive to Eutrema, direct from our seaweed processing facility. 
• 100% British ingredients.

Application

Lawns and gardens: dilute 10mL per litre of tap water and apply as either a root drench with a watering can or foliar spray with a back pack sprayer.

Cereals: use 2 litres per hectare in 200 litres of water.

Field crops: use 10 litres per hectare in 200-400 litres of water.

Suitable for use on organic crops.

Bioactive concentration

• Laminarins = 1.17%
• Fucoidan = 0.49%
• Alginic acid = 3.18%
• Mannitol = 2.01% 

We do not use heat or potassium hydroxide in the seaweed extraction process. Whilst this results in a lower ‘solids content’, it does help protect the delicate bioactive compounds we extract from the fresh seaweed fronds.
