Biological Fertiliser FAQs

Conventional synthetic fertilisers are designed to deliver nutrients rapidly, creating fast and predictable plant responses. When nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are applied in synthetic forms, plants often respond with quick greening and a surge in biomass.

Biological fertilisers, on the other hand, work in a fundamentally different way to conventional synthetic inputs. Rather than supplying nutrients in a readily available chemical form, they focus on supporting the living processes within the soil that naturally create fertility over time.

Liquid Seaweed Biofertiliser

One key benefit of using Liquid Seaweed Biological Fertiliser is its bio-available nutrient content. Seaweed is packed with essential minerals, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements such as iron, zinc, and magnesium.

These nutrients are vital for healthy plant development and are readily absorbed by plants, as a biofertiliser, promoting robust root growth, improved flowering and fruiting, and overall plant vigour.

Alongside containing essential elements, Liquid Seaweed Biological Fertiliser also contains micronutrients such as iron, copper, zinc, molybdenum, boron, manganese and cobalt. 

Plants use tiny amounts of the micronutrients, often measured in parts per million, which is why Liquid Seaweed Fertiliser can be highly effective in delivering these micronutrients to crops.

Due to a variety of beneficial compounds such as cytokinins, auxins, gibberellins, and betaines, Liquid Seaweed Biologiacl Fertiliser can positively impact photosynthesis by stimulating the growth of chlorophyll pigments responsible for capturing light. This results in increased absorption of sunlight and more efficient conversion of carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.

SEAWEED BIOLOGICAL FERTILISER BENEFITS

Delivers Organic Minerals and Trace Elements

One key benefit of using Liquid Seaweed (Kelp) Fertiliser is its rich organic nutrient content. Seaweed is packed with essential minerals, including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements such as iron, zinc, and magnesium. Because of the cold fermentation process, these essential nutrients are bio-available and readily absorbed by plants, promoting robust root growth, improved flowering and fruiting, and overall plant vigor.

Contributes to Soil Structure

Liquid Seaweed Biological Fertiliser has the ability to promote better soil structure. When applied to the soil, under brown or green ground cover, the compounds present in seaweed help bind soil particles together, resulting in improved soil aggregation. The enhanced soil structure allows for better water infiltration and retention, reducing the risk of erosion and improving overall soil health.

Provides Natural Growth Hormones

When Liquid Seaweed Fertiliser is applied to plants, the natural growth hormones, such as auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins, play a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes in plants, including cell division, elongation, and differentiation.

Enhances Taste, Colour and Nutritional Content of Food

One of the key advantages of using Liquid Seaweed Fertiliser is its impact on taste. It has been found that plants treated with Seaweed Biological Fertiliser have improved flavour profiles compared to those grown with chemical-based fertilisers. The natural compounds present in seaweed can enhance the overall taste and aroma of fruits, vegetables, and other edible crops.

Nutrient dense food

In addition to enhancing taste, Liquid Seaweed Fertiliser also contributes to enhancing the colour and texture of food. The minerals and trace elements found in seaweed help plants develop vibrant colours, and improve the visual appeal of fruits and vegetables.

Moreover, Liquid Seaweed Fertiliser is known for its ability to enrich the nutritional content of food.

Seaweed Kelp is rich sources of essential minerals such as potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and iodine. When used as a liquid fertiliser for plants, these nutrients are absorbed by the crops and subsequently passed on to consumers when they consume these foods.

Increased Plant and Crop Resilience

Another key advantage of using Liquid Seaweed Fertiliser is its ability to boost a plant’s immune system. Seaweed Kelp is rich in bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, amino acids, and vitamins that stimulate the production of plant defense mechanisms. These compounds help plants to build stronger cell walls, activate defense genes, and produce antimicrobial substances that can fend off diseases and pests.

Liquid Seaweed Biological Fertiliser can also help in enhancing plant tolerance to climatic stresses such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures. Seaweed Kelp contains osmoprotectants that help plants retain water during dry periods or excessive salt exposure. Seaweed also contains antioxidants that scavenge harmful free radicals produced under stressful condition.

The organic nature of SONIC Liquid Seaweed Biological Fertiliser makes it an environmentally friendly choice for gardeners and farmers alike. Furthermore, it does not contain synthetic chemicals or harmful additives that can have negative impacts on soil health, the natural ecosystem, or water quality.

How Does Liquid Seaweed Biological Fertiliser Work?

SONIC Liquid Seaweed (Kelp) Biological Fertiliser is a unique product that harnesses the power of both beneficial microbes and the natural chelating properties of seaweed. This combination works to release locked-up minerals in the soil, making them more readily available for plant uptake.

The key lies in the synergistic relationship between the microbes and the seaweed. The microbes help to break down organic matter, freeing up essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Meanwhile, the seaweed’s natural chelating ability binds to these nutrients, preventing them from being leached away or becoming unavailable to plants.

This dual-action approach ensures that your plants have access to the vital organic minerals they need to thrive, without the risk of nutrient deficiencies or imbalances. By applying Seaweed Biological Fertiliser, you can support overall soil health and fertility, leading to stronger, more resilient plants.

Containing the hormones gibberellin and auxin, SONIC Liquid Seaweed Fertiliser functions as a growth enhancer, as well as delivering naturally balanced vitamins, enzymes, and over 60 trace elements.  Liquid Seaweed promotes early growth, improves root and stem strength, and contributes to cold hardiness in plants.
