What you can achieve through planned use of the Biobizz bio-stimulants range, and in specific Alg-A-Mic:
Applied - little and often - as part of the plant health programme, bio-stimulants ensure plants are more adept at resisting growing stresses.
Independent Research shows that bio-stimulant products, such as Alg-A-Mic, have five principle effects on plant growth. All of them remove or reduce the influence of a number of growth constraints, resulting in healthier plants, that produce higher yields and quality crops.
 Five Principle Effects
- Immune System
- Chlorophyll
- Nematodes
- Microbes
- Frost
Immune System
Regular applications to the foliage of plants induces Localised Acquired Resistance (LAR) against a range of fungi, bacteria and viruses; there are indications that this effect may also be systemic. Applications also improve the plant's ability to withstand certain levels of environmental stress and may reduce the attacks and flare-ups of sap-sucking insect pests on the plants.
Chlorophyll
Foliar application of our seaweed extract (Alg-A-Mic)will result in greater maintenance of chlorophyll, leading to greener plants.This is, in part, due to a complex family of different betaines in the seaweed extract, which help reduce natural damage to the photosynthetic process.
Microbes
Specific carbohydrates in our seaweed extracts serve as a source of food for beneficial and benign soil bacteria, resulting in a large increase in microbe numbers. These microbes produce plant growth stimulating compounds that encourage root growth and a significantly larger root mass. The increased bacterial population can also physically exclude or compete with potential plant pathogenic soil fungi.
Nematodes
The complex range of compounds found within our seaweed extracts can help reduce nematode damage. This includes a reduction in hatch and a disorientation or simple 'burn-out' of immature nematodes (J2s), minimising root penetration.
Frost
Applied to plants that can cold acclimatise, seaweed extract initiates or speeds up the acclimatisation process even when the plant is not subjected to a cold stress. This allows plants to tolerate greater levels of cold, reducing the amount of damage.
