Description

Algae are photosynthesising organisms that live in water or in very wet environments. In order to withstand the extreme conditions of the habitat in which they live, they have developed a series of natural defences (plant hormones), a characteristic that makes algae important contributors to the search for agricultural optimisation. The extraction method is key to maintaining initial alga qualities, since certain plant hormones, such as auxins, are rather unstable molecules and will be greatly affected depending on the chosen method.

Kaliter® Nodosum is a biostimulant produced from the alga Ascophyllum Nodosum, originating in the northern Atlantic Ocean. As a result of cold algae extraction technology, it better conserves its content in carbohydrates (mannitol, alginic acid, laminarin and others), amino acids (glutamic acid, alanine, phenylalanine, glycine, proline, lysine, etc.) and plant hormones (cytokinins, auxins, etc.), with their biostimulant properties remaining intact.

Kaliter® Nodosum provides the following advantages:

• It favours crop growth and moves up seed growth.
• It increases the mobilisation of nutrients in vegetative organs.
• It improves root growth.
• Rapid response to different stressful situations (hail, frosts, etc.).
• It reinforces the development of lateral buds and the expansion of leaves.
• It causes stomatal opening and an increase in fruit size and uniformity.
• Rapid response to different stressful situations (hail, frosts, etc.).
