Algae-Based Crop Biostimulants
What We Offer
Our algae-based crop biostimulants and biopesticide consulting services include the choice of the right species, promising extraction procedures and design and execution of experiments with crops
Extraction
Of potential biostimulants from algal biomass
In-vitro trials
Demonstrating the biostimulant and biopesticide potential of algae extracts on specific plant cells
In-vivo trials
Testing the effects of biostimulants and biopesticides on target crops or plants in green houses or open fields
Boost Crop Quality with Algae Biostimulants
Algae biostimulants are natural substances derived from various algae species. They work by stimulating natural processes in plants, enhancing nutrient uptake, tolerance to abiotic stress, and overall crop quality and yield. We work with farmers, agribusinesses, and researchers to integrate these sustainable solutions into modern farming practices. Our services include product formulation, efficacy testing, and customized application protocols to ensure the best results for crops. Reach out to us to learn more about how our consultancy can help you to access the power of algae as biostimulant for your plants.
Hormones in Algae
Depending on algae species, different hormones are abundant. They include:
Auxins
Such as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), which promote cell elongation and are involved in various growth processes.
Abscisic Acid (ABA)
Plays a role in stress responses and developmental processes.
Jasmonates (JAs)
Regulate plant defence responses and reproductive development.
Cytokinins
Which stimulate cell division and influence nutrient mobilization.
Ethylene (ETH)
A gaseous hormone that influences fruit ripening and response to stress.
Salicylic Acid (SA)
Important for the plant defence system.
Gibberellins (GAs)
Involved in promoting stem elongation, seed germination, and flowering.
Brassinosteroids (BRs)
Involved in cell expansion and differentiation.
Why Algae Biostimulants?
Enhanced Growth
Algae biostimulants contain hormones and micronutrients essential for plant growth. They can lead to more robust root systems, improved photosynthetic efficiency, and increased biomass.
Stress Resistance
These biostimulants help plants withstand environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures, leading to better survival rates and crop resilience.
Improved Quality
Applying algae biostimulants can enhance the nutritional value and appearance of agricultural produce, resulting in higher market value and consumer appeal.
