Ascophyllum nodosum: the seaweed that comes from the sea to strengthen your crop.
It grows on the rocky shores of the North Atlantic, in the tidal zone, where it is constantly exposed to changes in salinity, temperature and light. That ability to adapt is reflected in its composition, which is why it is one of the most widely used seaweeds in agriculture.
What does it contain?
🔹 Alginates, which help improve water retention
🔹 Mannitol, which supports nutrient mobility
🔹 Polysaccharides such as laminarin and fucoidans
🔹 Phenolic compounds with antioxidant activity
🔹 Betaines, amino acids and micronutrients
🔹 Natural phytohormones such as auxins and cytokinins
What does it bring when it is part of an agricultural product?
✅ Promotes root development and plant vigour
✅ Improves nutrient uptake and use efficiency
✅ Helps the crop cope with stress situations: drought, salinity, heat or cold
✅ Stimulates photosynthetic activity and plant metabolism
✅ Contributes to fruit set, fruit development and final quality
✅ Stimulates biological activity in the soil around the root zone
A natural, renewable resource with a long track record in agriculture.
