Seaweed extract is an ideal full-functional seaweed fertilizer that integrates plant nutrients, bioactive substances, and plant stress-resistance factors.
- In addition to alginic acid, seaweed essence also contains essential plant elements;
- It also contains proteins, amino acids that can be directly absorbed and utilized by plants, and plant growth substances that have a significant impact on plant physiological processes;
- Contains vitamins, nucleotides, humic acid and plant stress resistance factors.
The two most important points that determine the quality of seaweed extract:
- The content of relevant substances in the raw materials.
- Whether to use biodegradation method (i.e. enzymatic hydrolysis method). Compared with chemical hydrolysis method, this method can better preserve the activity of seaweed active substances. This is also the fundamental reason to ensure the effectiveness of seaweed stimulants.
Wellyou Tech mainly uses imported wild macroalgae and Ascophyllum nodosum as raw materials. The main reason for choosing this type of seaweed is that it grows in deep sea cold water areas. The unique growth environment of low temperature, low light, high pressure and high salt has given it a strong ability to enrich and absorb nutrients during the long evolutionary process. , more biologically active substances can be synthesized.
In production, seaweed lytic enzymes and production processes are continuously optimized and upgraded to solve problems such as seaweed enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency and reduction of material losses during the production of seaweed extract.
1. Why can promote growth and increase production?
- Seaweed in the ocean grows very quickly. For example, it only takes a few months for macroalgae to grow from an inch-long seedling to a seaweed that is tens of meters long. Therefore, seaweed contains a large number of active substances that promote growth and increase production. For example, seaweed cytokinin, plant endogenous auxin, etc. can promote plant cell division and growth, activate the crop’s own growth potential, induce the re-formation of α-amylase in the plant, stimulate the production of non-specific active factors in the plant, and accelerate the growth of the plant. grow and increase yields.
- Seaweed can absorb nutrients from seawater equivalent to 440,000 times its own volume, and has more comprehensive nutrients than terrestrial plants. After application, the crops grow in a balanced manner and rarely suffer from nutrient deficiencies, which is beneficial to increasing production.
- The insufficient light environment on the seabed makes the photosynthesis of seaweed stronger than that of land plants. The photosynthesis of leaves is enhanced after crop application. When there is low light, the ability of crops to absorb and transform nutrients is enhanced, and the crops grow faster and produce higher yields.
- The high-salt environment of seawater makes seaweed contain salt-tolerant and alkali-resistant factors. After using seaweed essence, crops have enhanced resistance to saline-alkali soil and repeated cropping fields, their growth is not affected, and their yields naturally increase.
- Seawater does not freeze at zero degrees, so that seaweed has the ability to grow below zero and contains low-temperature resistance factors. After using it, crops have enhanced ability to withstand low temperatures and increased yields.
- Seawater has huge pressure, and waves and ocean currents are extremely destructive. Seaweed can still grow normally in harsh environments, which shows that seaweed has strong resistance. After use, crops can improve their resistance to severe weather, thereby increasing yields.
2. Why can seaweed extract improve crop quality?
- Seaweed can absorb nutrients in seawater that is 440,000 times larger than its own volume. The crops will not be short of nutrients after use, so the quality of the crops will be improved.
- Seaweed extract is rich in marine active nutrients, such as alginic acid, mannitol, amino acids, betaine, seaweed polyphenolic compounds, minerals, sugars, etc. These ingredients can improve crop quality, increase sugar content, and improve fruit quality. Nutrient content, improve the taste of the fruit, promote color change, enhance the aroma of the fruit itself, enhance the luster of the fruit, etc.
- Substances such as quinone groups and polyphenols in seaweed extract participate in the oxidation-reduction reaction of crops, improving the activity of sugar invertase and the synthesis of phosphorus-containing organic compounds. It can greatly increase the sugar content of melons, fruits, vegetables, etc., and extend the storage period of melons and fruits.
- Since seaweed essence adopts biological enzymatic hydrolysis technology, the molecular weight of alginic acid is small. Small molecule alginic acid has permeability to the plant cell membrane barrier. Through its adsorption, conduction, transport, bridging, slow release, activation and other functions, it enables plant cells to absorb more water that is otherwise unavailable. At the same time, nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and sugars accumulated and synthesized by photosynthesis are transported to the fruit parts to increase yield and improve quality.
