Biostimulants for Plants

Improving crop quality, yields and disease resistance in horticulture

Biostimulants and biofertilisers are popular choices in the horticulture world. It’s easy to see why products containing seaweed extracts and microbial fungi can enhance soil health, increase yields and improve the quality of high-value crops.  Crucially, they can also help to safeguard vulnerable plants from disease, pests, and environmental stresses. This makes seaweed extracts a vital tool for those whose income depends on horticulture, such as growers of glasshouse crops, top fruit, and field vegetables.

By using biostimulants, horticulturalists can minimise unpleasant surprises (such as crops failing due to disease). This means they can achieve more consistent, reliable financial returns.

Benefits of biostimulants and biofertilisers in horticulture

Here are just a handful of the reasons why horticulturalists have made the switch to our unique seaweed-based products:

• Improved fruit bud and set formation
• Greater resistance to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses such as drought
• Higher yields, leading to better crop margins
• Improved skin and colour texture (in top fruit)
• Improved product quality
• Enhanced soil health
• Greater root activity – leading to stronger, more stress-resistant roots.
