Kelpak's key benefits:

• Natural Biological Activity

  Scientific research indicates that Kelpak Liquid Seaweed biostimulants, contain several natural biologically active substances complemented by natural carbohydrate and carboxylic acid complexes that promote positive natural activity within treated plants. The product was historically seen as auxin-based, due to the strong rooting effect when applied on plants. However, more recent research showed only micro levels (parts per billion) of these elements in Kelpak but significant levels of polyamines and phlorotannins. Active levels were measured analytically, with the biological activity measured in plant bioassays 10 days after treatment. The complex actives like polyamines and phlorotannins in Kelpak indirectly promote the production of natural compounds within the plant itself, rather than delivering hormones to the plant. The combined effects of these actives and compounds leads to a healthier and stronger plant, producing better yields.

• Root Development

  Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Biostimulant, through its effective and safe extraction process, contains a significant level of phlorotannins, polyamines and other biological actives, all working in harmony to promote the plant's natural responses thereby triggering root initiation and development. Root biomass is significantly improved ensuring efficient water and nutrient use.

• Nutrient and Water Uptake

  Recent scientific studies show that amongst other biological actives, polyamines found in Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Biostimulant, measurably increase root mass, thereby increasing the absorptive surface area, resulting in efficient nutrient and water uptake in the plant.

• Resistance to Abiotic Stresses

  Scientific research shows that when plants experience stress, polyamine concentration dramatically increases, helping them to endure the threat. Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Biostimulant contains beneficial levels of biological elicitors, assisting the plants to better withstand drought, flooding, nutrient deficiency, frost as well as recovery from transplant shock. Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Biostimulant provides a healthy root system, stronger stems and foliar growth ensuring your plant will be more tolerant to abiotic stresses. Kelpak application directly after a crop has experienced stress such as drought, frost or flooding, also benefits the plant's recovery. After transplant and harvest crops can experience shock. Kelpak application before or after these events will significantly improve re-establishment and ensure healthy reserves during dormancy.

• Reduced transplant shock

  While calcium application is important in apple production, it often results in leaf scorch, which will affect tree health and productivity. Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Biostimulant acts as a buffer when applied together with calcium sprays to reduce the risk of leaf burn.

• Pollen Tube Developement

  Recent scientic studies clearly indicate the dramatic effect Kelpak has on pollen grain germination and pollen tube elongation. The pollen grain germinates and the pollen tube develops much faster when treated with Kelpak. This ultimately results in improved fruit set and crop yield.

• Fruit Set

  Not only does Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Biostimulant stimulate pollen growth which leads to improved fruit set, it also plays an important role in the reproduction of plants from the development of reproductive structures in flowers, seed filling (the accumulation of starch, lipids and proteins in seeds) and the subsequent germination of seeds. Fruit and nut retention is significantly increased over the development stages resulting in better yields for the grower.

• Fruit and Berry Size

  Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Biostimulant promotes cell expansion and elongation having a direct effect on fruit sizing. By improving pollen growth and subsequent fertilisation, more seeds are formed in fruit. The seeds in fruit secrete compounds that in turn improve fruit and berry size.

• Fruit Colour and Shelf-life

  Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Biostimulant enhances quality attributes of produce, including fruit firmness, sugar content, colour, and longer shelf life.

• Excellent Returns on Investment

  With its combination of natural complex actives working in concert, Kelpak Liquid Seaweed Biostimulant is a natural yet effective tool for the farmer, scientifically proven to provide a notable return on investment when applied as recommended.
