Product Description

  • Red algae (rhodophytes) have been explored for their potential use as fertilizers due to their nutrient-rich composition. They contain a variety of beneficial elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, trace minerals, and organic matter. These components can contribute to soil fertility and plant growth when used as a fertilizer or soil amendment.

Product Action & Benefits

  • Organic Matter and Nutrient Supply: Red algae are often used as organic fertilizers to improve soil structure and nutrient content. When added to the soil, they break down over time, releasing nutrients that plants can absorb. Their organic matter also enhances soil water retention and microbial activity.
  • Trace Minerals: Red algae contain various trace minerals that are essential for plant health. These minerals are often lacking in conventional synthetic
    fertilizers, making red algae fertilizers beneficial for addressing micronutrient deficiencies.
  • Environmental Sustainability: Using red algae-based fertilizers aligns with sustainable farming practices as they are a natural and renewable resource. Their use can also reduce dependence on synthetic fertilizers, which may have negative environmental impacts.
  • Biostimulant Effects: Beyond nutrient content, red algae may have biostimulant effects, promoting root development, stress resistance, and overall plant health.
