More and more people are leaning towards organic cropsThose who are not exposed to chemicals and other harmful substances that threaten the health of plants and fruits.
At a time when most vegetables and fruits have been subjected to intense chemical processes to achieve a better quality production, the organic option becomes a safe alternative.
For this reason, today we dedicate ourselves to delving into the algae extract fertilizers, natural fertilizers that improve the quality of the land.
A natural fertilizer
El seaweed extract compost It is simply that, that is to say a type of fertilizer that has been made from algae extracts and that achieves numerous biostimulant effects, improving production and harvest.
What is a biostimulant product? These are those that improve the development of the crop when applied to plants, making them stronger and with better performance but always stimulating plants from natural processes that improve the response of plants to so-called abiotic stress.
Although today algae-based fertilizers are a novelty, seaweed has always been used as fertilizer as well as food for livestock and in the East it is common to find it in different dishes.
The reasons for success
If you wonder why algae have this effect on plants, the answer is related to the natural conditions in which algae survive. They have developed chemical hormonal compounds to adapt and survive in their natural habitat, underwater and in harsh conditions.
From these compounds, the industry has managed to extract them in order to take advantage of their benefits, transforming them into fertilizers for plants.
They use the brown algae extracts, which includes different species. The most popular are Ascophyllum nodosum, Laminaria sp., Fucus sp., Macrocystis pyrifera, Ecklonia maximum y Durvillea sp.
