Kelpgrow®
Kelpgrow® liquid seaweed extract promotes increased plant resistance to environmental stress to improve overall plant performance.
Overview
The efficacy of Kelpgrow® can be attributed to biostimulant components derived from a proprietary processing and extraction process. It is formulated to help improve plant resistance to abiotic stress and enhance overall plant performance by delivering a high concentration of naturally occurring biostimulant compounds — including amino acids, polysaccharides, macro and micronutrients, and vitamins. Its efficacy stems from a proprietary cold-process extraction method that preserves the full biological integrity of the seaweed.
Features
- Improves plant resistance and recovery from abiotic stress conditions
- Supports overall nutrient uptake and availability
- Optimizes conditions for soil structure and fertility
Benefits
- Reduces plant stress and aids in recovery through the supplementation of key components such as amino acids and other biostimulant compound
- Delivers a wide array of nutritional and biostimulant ingredients such as macro and micronutrients, polysaccharides, vitamins, and more
- Helps to improve plant uptake of nutrients and serve as a complexing agent making nutrients more available for plant use
- Assists in reducing the effects of plant oxidative stress
Application
Primary target crops include, but are not limited to: strawberries, apples, grapes, potatoes, watermelons, bell peppers

How does it work?
Kelpgrow® is produced using a cold-process mechanical extraction method designed to preserve the bioactive compounds in Macrocystis integrifolia seaweed. The process works as follows:
• Cell wall rupture: Differential pressure and mechanical action at cold temperatures cause the seaweed cell walls to break open, releasing their full bioactive contents.
• Biological preservation: Cold temperatures protect heat-sensitive compounds — including amino acids, and vitamins — from thermal degradation.
• Quality control: The process is overseen from seaweed harvest through to the finished commercial product, ensuring consistent concentration and biological activity.

Key Crops
Grown in every state in the United States as well as every province in Canada, strawberries are one of the most widely enjoyed fruits. Known botanically as Fragaria ananassa and a member of the Rosaceae family, strawberries can vary in size and shaped based upon the growing conditions and cultivar. All varieties of strawberries have seeds on their exterior rather than their interior as is common with other commonly consumed berries.
Apples, fruit of the domesticated tree Malus domestica (family Rosaceae), are one of the most widely cultivated tree fruits. The apple is a pome fruit, in which the ripened ovary and surrounding tissue both become fleshy and edible. In the US, there are 2,500 varieties of apples are grown. Around the world, there are 7,500 varieties of apples grown, while commercially, only 100 varieties of the most widely consumed apples are grown in the US. The crabapple is the only type of apple native to North America.
Table grapes may be grown in many parts of the US, as well as throughout the world. European varieties (Vitis vinifera) and many hybrids grow best when the soil pH is between 6.0 and 7.0, but Vitis labrusca (Variety native to North America) varieties can tolerate a pH of 5.5 or slightly lower. California vines account for 99% of all US commercially grown table grapes, and the table grape vineyards cover more than 80,000 acres.
Potatoes are underground tubers that grow on the roots of the plant, Solanum tuberosum. Potatoes are from the nightshade family and related to tomatoes and tobacco. Today potatoes are grown in all 50 states of the US and in about 125 countries throughout the world. In October 1995, the potato became the first vegetable to be grown in space.
Watermelons have been cultivated for thousands of years, dating back to prehistoric times. There have been records of watermelons being grown in ancient Egypt, throughout various regions in Africa, Brazil, North America, islands in the Pacific and numerous others. Currently they’re grown on all continents throughout the warm regions of the world. Watermelons grow best in soils with high water-holding capacities, with good air and water infiltration rates and pH ranges of 5.8-6.6.
Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum), also called sweet pepper or capsicum, are a pepper cultivar in the nightshade family (Solanaceae). These peppers are grown for their thick, mild fruits. Frequently found in a range of colors such as green, yellow, orange, and red, all these varieties are the same crop just picked at varying levels of ripening. Bell peppers are unique in the fact that unlike other members of the Capsicum family, they do not produce the compound called capsaicin, which is the compound responsible for the burning sensation felt when spicy peppers are consumed. Bell peppers score a zero on the Scoville unit scale.
