When To Use Seaweed Extract?

Using seaweed extract can be beneficial at various stages of plant growth. Here are some guidelines on when to use it:

1. Before Planting

Soil Preparation: Incorporate seaweed extract into the soil before planting to enhance soil health and nutrient availability.

2. During Germination

Seed Soaking: Soak seeds in a diluted seaweed extract solution before planting to improve germination rates and early root development.

3. Vegetative Growth Stage

Regular Applications: Apply seaweed extract every 2-4 weeks during the vegetative growth phase to promote healthy leaf and stem development.

4. Flowering and Fruiting Stage

Boosting Yield: Use seaweed extract during flowering and fruiting to enhance flower set, fruit development, and overall yield.

5. Stress Recovery

After Stress Events: Apply seaweed extract after environmental stresses (like drought, heat, or pest damage) to help plants recover and improve resilience.

Conclusion

Seaweed extract can be used throughout the growing season, from soil preparation to post-stress recovery. Regular applications can significantly enhance plant health and productivity. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for dilution and application rates.
