Bio Magic Organic Seaweed Foliar Feed Extract Powder (10 x 10 gm Sachets)

Ref: 206

Whether you are a professional gardener, competition grower or simply a homeowner keen to make the most of your garden, you are probably left wondering at certain times of the year why it is that the vegetables or flowers that you planted with diligence and care in spring are not producing the type of results you were hoping for. There can be innumerable reasons for this from weather conditions to soil type but the end result is usually the same for you as the grower, disappointment.

You can not always have an influence over the environmental influences that may affect your plants but you can have a large impact on their formative days and weeks, the period when their overall development will be most affected. Knowledge and good planting technique are essential but at this stage young plants cannot produce their own PGR (Plant Growth Regulator): an organic compound that modifies or controls one or more specific physiological processes within a plant). By providing young plants with a natural source of PGR during the early stages of their growth cycle you are promoting healthier and stronger plants with faster crop maturity and improved yields. Not only do young plants benefit from an early source of PGR, they also need all of the trace elements to be present in the soil (trace elements occur in soil, and are needed for the normal function of all plant metabolic, reproductive and immune systems), as do plants of all ages.

This may sound like a complex process to put into practice but in reality all of these beneficial elements are available from one source; seaweed, in particular, 3 types of brown seaweed; Sargassum*, Laminaria* and Ascophllyum Nodosum*. These 3 different seaweeds are blended together into a natural, 100% organic blend to form Bio Magic Organic Seaweed Foliar Feed. Easily applied to the leaves of the plant by pump sprayer or watering can, the powder is quickly dissolved due to the sophisticated drying process forming a unique lamellar crystal giving an increased surface area and better absorption, thus preventing blockage to irrigation systems and sprayer heads. When suggested application rates are adhered to the benefits and advantages of Bio Magic Organic Seaweed Foliar Feed to your plants are impressive:

• Rapidly replaces missing trace elements and nutrients improving the health of the plant.
• Thickens, enlarges and balances leaf growth.
• Improves blossom and fruit set.
• Helps plants to endure environmental stress.
• Stimulates strong root growth and development of new shoots.
• Contains antitoxins which fend off bacteria and viruses.
• Stimulates cell division, improving fruit size.
• Increases shelf life of cut flowers, fruit and vegetables.

• Sargassum - rich in alginic acid and cytokinin. Alginic acid is good for water retention while cytokinin promotes rapid growing hormones.
• Laminaria - abundant in laminaria polysaccharide. A polysaccharide compound, isolated in 1994 from sea lettuce, has been shown to possess considerable antiviral effects.
• Ascophyllum Nodosum - a traditional raw material. This brown seaweed is a concentrated source of minerals, including iodine, potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron.

Alga 600 Organic Soluble Seaweed Extract Powder (400 gms Tub)

Ref: 208

If your garden is particularly large or you are a commercial grower, Bio Magic Organic Seaweed Foliar Feed is available in a larger volume container of 400 grams, sold as Alga 600 Organic Soluble Seaweed Extract Powder. This is the very same product as Bio Magic Organic Seaweed Foliar Feed with all of the same benefits for your crops and flowers. This larger package contains enough foliar feed for up to one acre of land, especially useful for farm applications where large areas need to be treated in short spaces of time. With certification from Organic Farmers & Growers Ltd, it is an effective means for correcting soil deficiencies. Due to the super concentrated nature of the powder environmental impact from transportation and storage requirements are minimised, making Alga600 very cost effective. This fully soluble powder gives total flexibility for different growing applications and methods from drip irrigation to large volume ground sprayer.

Note for commercial users; a biological surfactant can reduce water tension, thus improving the absorption rate of foliar sprays. Where possible the pH of a foliar spray should be 6.2 - 7.0. For the promotion of young plant growth a sweeter (alkaline) solution - pH 7.0 - is recommended. Where growth is well established a more sour (acid) solution - pH6.2 - is recommended.
