Seaweed in agriculture: how Ascophyllum nodosum extracts improve production

Seaweed has become a key resource for modern agriculture thanks to its biostimulant properties. In particular, Ascophyllum nodosum, a brown alga that grows in the cold waters of the North Atlantic, stands out for its richness in beneficial compounds for crop development. In this article, we explore how fertilizers with Ascophyllum nodosum extracts contribute to improving agricultural productivity.

What is Ascophyllum nodosum?

Ascophyllum nodosum is a seaweed that contains mannitol, alginic acid, polyphenols, and essential nutrients. These natural compounds have a positive effect on crops, as they stimulate the plant’s physiological processes and strengthen its ability to adapt to stressful situations.

Benefits of seaweed extracts in agriculture
  • Stimulate rooting: promote the development of stronger and deeper roots, improving the absorption of water and nutrients.

  • Improve flowering and fruit set: increase the quantity and viability of pollen, which translates into more uniform harvests.

  • Increase resistance to stress: help the plant to overcome droughts, sudden changes in temperature, or phytotoxicities.

  • Favor fruit fattening: promote more homogeneous growth and higher quality in production.

  • Contribute to sustainability: being products of natural origin, they are compatible with environmentally friendly agricultural practices.

Practical applications in different crops

The extracts of Ascophyllum nodosum are used in various production systems:

  • Citrus and fruit trees: improve fruit quality and post-harvest resistance.

  • Vegetables: stimulate vegetative growth and promote more uniform fruit set.

  • Vine and olive tree: increase yield and help the plant withstand water stress.

  • Golf courses and turf: improve color, density, and resistance to trampling.
