PLYMAG, a leading company in biostimulation and fertilization with extensive experience in the manufacture of algae extracts, presents: ECKLOMAR natural algae extract derived from the Kelp species, Ecklonia maxima, from the South African coast. This cold-extraction product contains high levels of hormonal precursors and sugars, promoting the growth and yield of your crops.
Kelp algae are known for their impressive growth rate and their ability to form vast marine forests in cold waters. Ecklonia maxima, in particular, has unique properties derived from its active substances due to its content of hormonal precursors, which give it an activity similar to auxins, phytohormones that promote cell growth and play a vital role in plant development.
The benefits of using ECKLOMAR, an extract of Ecklonia maxima algae, are diverse:
- Improves root and plant growth: ECKLOMAR accelerates root development and overall plant growth, resulting in higher yields and more robust production.
- Increases Yield: This natural algae extract has been shown to promote higher crop yield, which could be a crucial factor for farmers and growers.
- Larger fruit size and fruit setting: ECKLOMAR contributes to the growth and development of larger fruit with more effective fruit setting.
The auxin activity of Ecklomar derives from the presence of these phytohormones, which are characterized by promoting growth by stimulating cell elongation by acting on the cell wall.
The benefits of the product are due to the action of auxin precursors that are also manifested in the development of lateral and adventitious roots and the growth of fruits. In order to verify the auxin activity of ECKLOMAR, a bioassay[1] was carried out aimed at stimulating the formation of adventitious roots in the petioles of bean leaves.
Contributing to the development and research, PLYMAG, in collaboration with the University of Alicante, determined the auxin activity of ECKLOMAR, carrying out a bioassay aimed at stimulating the formation of adventitious roots in bean leaves. This bioassay demonstrated the relationship between the auxins naturally present in ECKLOMAR and the root production capacity compared to synthetic auxins (IAA) at different concentrations, revealing the potential of this natural seaweed extract to effectively improve plant growth and development.
PLYMAG has taken a significant step in the field of agriculture by incorporating ECKLOMAR into its product range a few years ago. This algae extract promises to provide farmers with a powerful tool to improve the quality and yield of their crops, while contributing to more sustainable and efficient agriculture.
