It is particularly useful for organically grown plants and veg, where artificial fertilisers are not used, and on poor, degraded, soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur biostimulant stimulates plant defense responses that contribute to resistance to several pests, diseases, and abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, and cold.\u003cbr\u003eIn addition, it triggers plant hormonal responses due to seaweed’s specific components and interaction with plant growth regulation. It also improves the soil microbiome in support of sustainable plant growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used in combination with other treatments\/feed\/fertilisers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd 50ml biostimulant per 10L water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply weekly.

Kelps contain about 30% sugars. These sugars are alginate, mannitol, laminarin and fucoidan. Whilst seaweeds have all these sugars (to varying degrees), kelps are high in alginate and laminarin.

The alginate gel property works in the soil by binding metal and soil particles together. The other two sugars induce similar plant defense responses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost seaweed biostimulants use a species called Egg wrack (\u003cem\u003eAscophylum nodosum\u003c\/em\u003e). It is the most abundant species found in sheltered rocky bays around Scotland and Ireland, which is probably why it has been used as the primary seaweed for biostimulant. Not necessarily because it is the most suitable seaweed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Environment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEgg wrack is wild harvested. Whilst there is nothing particularly wrong with this, it does leave some considerations. Wild harvest always means taking something from the natural environment, even if it is done in a sustainable manner. Seaweeds contain different concentrations of minerals and sugars throughout their growth period and because egg wrack is wild harvested throughout the year, the sugar and mineral content varies per batch. We harvest our kelp from our Cornish seaweed farms in Fowey and The Lizard Peninsula. In doing so we harvest the seaweed when they contain the maximum levels of the all-important sugars. This also provides consistency to agriculturalists and horticulturalists and allows us to create a set mineral profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Recipe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are many ways to extract liquid from seaweed. The most common on the market is cold pressing. Cold pressing simply extracts the liquid from the seaweed and leaves the rest of the nutrition found in the solid part unused, resulting in reduced efficiency. We ferment (using a tested Japanese method called Bokashi) by adding a range of beneficial fermentation microbes (and molasses), creating a live, active, product, that enhances soil conditions and plat health. Our fermentation breaks down all of the seaweed, providing all the benefits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"first-payment-date\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cornish Seaweed","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48777489514838,"sku":null,"price":11.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0855\/8762\/4278\/files\/Seaweed_Biostimulant_-_1L.jpg?v=1750623612","url":"https:\/\/www.cornishseaweed.pro\/products\/seaweed-biostimulant-1l","provider":"Cornish Seaweed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
