Bunching Vegetables

Fitting Seasol products into Bunching Vegetable production

Regular application (every 2-4 weeks) during the growing season as a general plant tonic can be used to enhance productivity.
Targeted application at specific growth stages can be used to provide increased resistance to the impacts of cold or heat.
Application with or immediately after any fertiliser application can be used to aid nutrient uptake and utilisation.
Post-harvest applications can be used to help plants store nutrients and energy reserves for the following season.

The use of Seasol products results in significant improvement of both plant health and crop development resulting in:

Improved plant establishment. By stimulating root growth needed for rapid establishment after planting.
Drought tolerance. Seasol products significantly increase drought tolerance. It does this by helping plants protect against water loss.
Frost tolerance. The same mechanism that protects against drought stress also provides significant frost protection by reducing the temperature at which plant cells freeze.
Improved production. The natural substances and trace elements in Seasol products improve the evenness of crop development and general plant performance.
Disease resistance. It has been consistently reported that Seasol product treated plants demonstrate reduced incidence and severity of disease.
Increased microbial activity. Seasol products are a food source for beneficial soil microbes increasing their number and diversity.
