Super Kelp
Stimulates root growth, reduces stress.
100% Seaweed Extract.
A healthy root system, closely followed by vegetative growth, establishes the ability of the crop to produce.
The benefits of Super Kelp include:
- Improved root growth
- Improved tolerance to heat and cold
- Mixes easily with fertiliser
- Increased the shelf life of produce through greater calcium uptake
- Increased chlorophyll production
- Increased nutritional value of feed crops
- Improved flower retention and fruit set
- Enhanced seed germination
From 2-3 times per season (targeted use) to weekly applications; see Crop Stress Programs.
Available in 20L, 200L and 1,000L

For heat and cold (frost) stress
Apply 36-48 hours prior to stress event as a foliar spray or via irrigation. During events it is recommended to apply via irrigation.
Repeat every 14 days during extended heat and cold periods. For extra frost tolerance it can be mixed with 0.5% potassium fertiliser to help strengthen plants.
Drought Tolerance
Regular use during drought to stimulate root growth can help crops explore greater soil volume and access moisture.
