Seasol is suitable for foliar applications as a general plant tonic to assist the maintenance of balanced plant nutrition. This leads to improved plant health with positive outcomes for:
Feeder root growth: Foliar application of Seasol increases the formation and growth of new feeder roots. The effect of this can be seen about 2 weeks after application (given good growing conditions), with a subsequent increase in shoot growth.
Flowering and fruit set: The use of Seasol as an organic plant health tonic significantly improves the benefits of a balanced nutritional program for optimizing fruit set and delivering more consistent yields, year after year.
Adverse climatic conditions: Improved plant health increases the ability of plants to cope with hot &/or dry conditions. It also reduces their susceptibility to frost damage. Both gardeners and commercial growers depend on Seasol for this benefit alone.
Produce quality: It is common sense that healthy plants yield high quality produce. The benefits of including Seasol in a balanced nutritional program can be seen in nutritional value, flavor and keeping quality.
Pest and disease problems: There are a number of ways in which plants naturally defend themselves against pest and disease problems. Optimising plant health can assist in providing such defenses without the need to divert energy away from growth and productivity. Gardeners and commercial growers alike, report that, when using Seasol, the incidence of such problems is reduced and (when they occur) their severity is much lower.
Seasol and Earthcare products are intended for use in optimized plant nutrition and soil management programs and so are not recommended for mixing with chemicals or other products.
