Seaweed Creme®: Gift from the Sea for Sustainable Crop Growth

Oct 14, 2016

PHOENIX, AZ (March, 2016) – Knowledgeable growers who want to increase crop production are turning to the nutrient-rich ocean for assistance. Using Seaweed Creme® from BioFlora®, they have enriched their crops with trace minerals, micronutrients, amino acids and vitamins essential to healthy plant growth.

Seaweed Creme, made from the North Atlantic Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed, is a sustainable way to improve production. While most companies use chemical-based, high-heat extraction methods to produce seaweed extracts, BioFlora employs an organic process. It hand harvests, sun dries, grinds and homogenizes the entire plant to produce the highest quality product.

BioFlora also enhances Seaweed Creme with patented ionic minerals at their smallest molecular composition, making them easily absorbed into the plant at the cellular level. These ionic minerals enhance plant nutrient uptake, resulting in stronger growth for new crops. Plants also come into production 25 percent to 30 percent earlier than normal.

Scientific research, field tests and growers’ experiences have repeatedly documented Seaweed Creme’s effectiveness in encouraging plant growth[1], increasing yield[2] and creating plants more resistant to drought, frost and stress[3].  Seaweed Creme contains the maximum level of natural growth hormones—auxins, cytokins, gibberellins—to help boost production by stimulating cell division and encouraging development of larger root systems and stronger plants. At later stages of plant development, these natural hormones help plants transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth.

In addition, the high levels of polysaccharides in BioFlora Seaweed Creme stimulate the growth of fruit buds, flowering and increased fruit set. Applied at bud development, Seaweed Creme can increase yields by 6 to 13 percent and even up to 40 percent.

As the source of life on Earth, the ocean has always offered a wealth of nutrients that trigger growth. With BioFlora’s Seaweed Creme, farmers and other growers now have an excellent means of tapping into this bounty to benefit their own crops.
