AgriSea Foliar Nutrition provides a natural balance of nutrients in a form your vines/ crops can readily absorb and convert maximising quality, palatability and yield.
Foliar spraying with seaweed supplies nutrients to the plant via the leaves, a method which has been shown to be 95% efficient – when applied under ideal conditions, nutrients have been translocated into the plant within one hour. The success of AgriSea’s Foliar Nutrition is due to the presentation of a balanced package of micro-nutrients to the plant in proportions that are conducive to absorption.
Seaweed is a growth enhancer that provides the natural plant hormones – auxins, gibberellins and cytokinins. These plant hormones are growth stimulants that are an important aid to larger fruit size through cell division and cell expansion increased root growth which in turn accelerates nutrient and water uptake. These hormones are carefully protected during AgriSea’s unique hand manufacturing system that does not use heat,chemicals, freezing, drying or other processes that will denature the sensitive balance of micronutrients that are so important to the plant.
