100% Organic

100% Australian Owned & Manufactured

Manufactured at teh highest solids content of any kelp product in the Australian Market.

Highest analysis of essential cytokinins and auxins scientifically identified in a kelp product in the Australian Market

Seasol is a 100% organic seaweed plant conditioner containing naturally occurring growth regulators, trace elements, alginates, carbohydrates and vitamins derived from a unique species of King Island Bull Kelp. This unique species – Durvillaea potatorum – has the highest alginic acid content of any brown kelp in the world. The processing plant used to extract the liquid concentrate is the only one of its type in the world and the manufacturing process is also unique and maximies the extraction of growth stimulants and other plant essential compounds. Seasol is the only seaweed extract in Australia to have the essential cytokinins/auxins (plant growth regulators) scientifically identified, and this work, conducted by the Australian National University, has been published and is recognised worldwide. The naturally occurring growth regulators found in Seasol have a profound effect on root growth and enhance the reproductive capacity of a plant. Seasol improves fruit set and improves tolerance to heat, drought and frost conditions. Seasol is non toxic and is completely safe to use on all plants, including Australian natives.

Seasol - Benefits in Brief:

  • Seasol increases cell division, stimulating plant and root growth, bud set and extending flowering periods.
  • Seasol improves fruit set and quality. The natural growth regulators and trace elements in Seasol improve evenness of fruit set, and the quality of the harvest.
  • Seasol enhances the sugar content in some fruits, treated plants show higher brix readings.
  • Seasol improves plant establishment. Seasol stimulates root growth needed for rapid establishment of new plantings and reduces the effects of transplant shock.
  • Seasol enhances cell turgidity resulting in crops which can better withstand adverse environmental conditions such as heat, drought and frost. It can even reverse the effects of dehydration after a single foliar application.
  • Seasol increases natural resistance to insect and fungal attack.
  • Seasol contains virtually no nitrogen or phosphorus, so will not interfere with other nutritional inputs and can be used all year round.
  • Seasol can be used every 4-8 weeks during the growing season as a general plant conditioner and tonic to aid in optimising plant health, flowering and fruit production.
