Additive : Advanced Nutrients Grandma Enggy's Seaweed Extract 1L

Yes there really is a Grandma Enggy! For over four generations Grandma Enggy has used her secret recipe to create the richest, nutrient laden seaweed extract available. This sensational combination has been the cornerstone of her award winning flower and vegetable gardens for over 80 years. Now, your very own flowers and vegetables can benefit from Grandma Enggy's years of hard work and experience. In order to ensure quality and success, a little bit of Grandma Enggy's heart and soul goes into every bottle of her Sensational Seaweed Extract, Golden Honey Fulvic Acid and Extra Pure Humic Acid. Happy Fields! The primeval sea is the origin of all life. It was a nutrient-rich broth that contained all the elements and compounds from which the universe created amino acids, proteins, sea plants, and all life forms that migrated from the sea to the land. If it wasn't for the sea and the life in it, none of us would exist. Humans who want total health ingest hte primal sea by making a potion using crystals of pure sea salt mined from crystalline veins deep in the Himalayas. These crystals are superior to regular salt in many ways. Agricultural crops cannot handle the saltiness of that drink, but they can thrive on sea substances when those substances are delivered to them via seaweed extract. The best seaweed extract ever created is marketed by Advanced Nutrients. The recipe for this extract comes from Grandma Enggy, whose family has spent many a year collecting seaweed and using it to feed agricultural crops such as flowers, fruit, nuts, turf, vegetables, and orchards. Seaweed is a highly-nutritional plant that feeds many humans throughout the world. There are dozens of varieties of seaweed. Advanced Nutrients scientists analyzed Grandma Enggy's formula, found the best seaweed on the plant, and upgraded Granny's formula to make a potent product that will bring the benefits of the vast sea to your garden. Seaweed extracts are rich in growth stimulants containing cytokinins and betaines, which are used as foliar feeds and through fertigation on an extensive range of crops world wide, including potatoes, cotton, bananas, cane, nuts, herbs, and citrus. Why is our seaweed extract so powerful? Because we select the best seaweed that contains all major and minor plant nutrients, and all trace elements. Our extract also contains alginic acid, vitamins, auxins, at least two gibberellins, and antibiotics. You might not be familiar with all of these substances, but they are advanced soil conditioners or crop growth stimulators that you can't get from regular fertilizers and seaweed extracts made by other companies. Alginic acid is a soil conditioner that upgrades the water-holding characteristics of soil and other grow media. In soil, alginic acid combines with metallic radicals to form a polymer salt with greatly increased molecular weight, of the type known as cross-linked. The salts formed when alginic acid melds with soil metals swell when wet and retain lots of moisture. This is especially important in outdoor growing, with water-hungry crops, and growing in areas of low humidity. Our customers tell us that using Grandma Enggy's seaweed product has created notable improvement in soil quality. We have a market gardener customer who told us that before he used our seaweed product, heavy rain would flow very fast down his sloping plots and carry all his seedlings and fertilizers into the ditch. Since he started using Enggy's wonder seaweed, however, the structure of his silty, sandy soil has improved. Now, soil, seedlings and nutrients are better able to withstand the rains because the soils structure has been improved by our product. Another customer told us: I was greatly impressed with an experimental garden I saw recently. There were crops being grown outdoors during a very dry year, side by side. One side of the garden had been heavily treated with Grandma Enggy's seaweed extract. The other side had not. The side that had the seaweed on it retained enough water to produce a crop. The side without seaweed dried up and could not be kept moist enough for growth. The plants died. That side had to be ploughed under. Thus we see that seaweed products condition the soil by increasing its water-holding capacity, and encouraging its crumb structure. This creates better aeration and capillary action, and stimulates root systems to grow more extensively. Seaweed also stimulates beneficial soil bacteria, which fosters a more natural environment for roots. Beneficial bacteria around roots secrete substances that further help condition the soil and also affect soil nitrogen content. The substances secreted by soil bacteria in the presence of seaweed include organic chemicals known as polyuronides. Polyuronides are chemically similar to alginic acid. As seaweed breaks down in grow media, polyuronides are created, and these also condition the soil. In regards to nitrogen, the use of whole seaweed products made by our competitors often leads to a temporary decrease of nitrogen available for crops. This depletion often occurs at a bad time- during initial phases of growth when crops need lots of nitrogen. When whole seaweed or any undecomposed organic matter is put into soil, it is attacked by bacteria which decompose the material. The bacteria use nitrogen to decompose the material. This means that after seaweed has been added to the soil, there is a period during which the amount of soil nitrogen available to crops is reduced. This predictable drop in nitrogen levels happens when any undecomposed vegetable matter is added to the soil. The breakdown period during which decomposition of seaweed or other organic undecomposed products depletes nitrogen lasts for between one to 15 weeks. Later, after whole seaweed is completely broken down by decomposition, nitrogen levels rise. It is therefore clear that while seaweed, in common with all organic matter, is beneficial to soil and plant, it has to be broken down, or decomposed, before its benefits are available. It is extremely important to note the superiority of our product in this regard: liquid seaweed extract is already broken down and does not cause a nitrogen depletion period. All nutrients and other substances it contains are available to the plant immediately. Thats why Grandma Enggy uses liquid seaweed extract instead of cheaper materials that are not as bioavailable to your crops. Thus we have seen that seaweed can condition soils structure and affect its nitrogen content. Other important effects include seaweeds high vitamin content. Brown seaweeds, which are the ones used in agriculture and horticulture, contain vitamins common to land plants, but also contain vitamins such as B12 that probably owe their existence in seaweed to bacteria specifically associated with sea plants. Vitamins present in brown seaweeds include vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Vitamin A is not present, but its precursor beta-carotene is present, along with fucoxanthin, which is also a Vitamin A precursors. The important B group vitamins present in brown seaweeds are B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B12, as well as pantothenic acid, folic acid and folinic acid. Also found in brown seaweeds are vitamin E (tocopherol), vitamin K, and other growth-promoting substances. The vitamin E in seaweed is particularly useful for agricultural crops because it has a complete set of isomers, making it similar to vitamin E that is found usually in seed oils such as wheat germ oil. All these vitamins are essential to crop growth and health, and are often lacking in many gardens. Seaweed contains auxins, which are substances that stimulate cell growth in ag crops. Auxins in seaweed include indolyl-acetic acid, discovered in seaweed in 1933. Two new auxins, as yet unidentified, but unlike any of the known indolyl-acetic acid types, were discovered in 1958 in the Laminaria and Ascophyllum seaweeds that are commonly used to make dried seaweed meal and liquid extract. These two auxins are different from standard auxins, which usually enlarge cells but do not create growth of more cells. The two special auxins encourage the growth of larger cells, and more of them. One of these auxins stimulates stem and root growth. This differs from the effects of indolyl-acetic acid and its derivatives, which cause cells to elongate but not to divide. The dual action of the special stem and root stimulating auxin has not been found in any other seaweed auxin. Our scientists suspect that seaweed auxins provide direct augmentation of cell processes and vitamins, while at the same time stimulating crops to internally produce more vitamins and growth hormones. Seaweed also contains at least two gibberellins, which are hormones that trigger growth and are especially useful for flowering and fruiting crops. Seaweed contains very important trace elements that are often missing from other ag growth products. Seaweed contains all known trace elements. What we have studied is if seaweeds trace elements are easily bioavailable for crops. In some circumstances, trace elements can be made available by chelating them. Chelating is the process of combining a mineral atom with organic molecules so that the entire compound can become more available for crop uptake. Some trace elements, such as iron, cannot be absorbed by plants or animals in their commonly-occurring forms. Sometimes, their lack of absorption is due to soil characteristics such as the presence of calcium carbonate in soils. Thats why iron-loving fruit trees growing in lime soils develop iron deficiency known as chlorosis. Plants including rhododendrons and azaleas, which are particularly sensitive to iron deficiency, can grow only in acid soils where iron does not combine with other elements to form insoluble salts that the plant cannot absorb. Seaweed helps crops uptake crucial elements like iron because of the chelating properties possessed by starches, sugars and carbohydrates in seaweed. These seaweed components bind with iron, cobalt, copper, manganese, zinc and other trace elements found naturally in seaweed, preventing the elements from settling out or otherwise becoming locked up so that crops cannot uptake them. Trace elements in seaweed extract are easily available to crops that need them, even in alkaline media. Hydrolyzed seaweed extract carries trace elements very effectively despite the fact that the extract is usually alkaline (with a pH of nine). Such high alkalinity would often prevent trace elements from entering crops, but such prevention is absent when seaweed extracts are used because in extracts the trace elements are strongly chelated. Indeed, liquid extract is a better chelate than whole seaweed and seaweed meal, and also has other characteristics that make it superior to seaweed products made by our competitors. Liquid seaweed extract also differs from seaweed meal and whole seaweed because extract can be used as a foliar spray. Minerals, auxins, gibberellins, and other helpful components in seaweed spray are absorbed through the skin of the leaf and stem directly into the sap of the plant. Our researchers have also found that trace elements can be provided in lower concentrations if those elements are offered to crops in the form of a spray, rather than being offered only to roots. The superiority of our seaweed extract when used as a foliar spray also derives from the process by which seaweed sprays stimulate metabolic processes in the leaf so that crops can use leaf-locked nutrients. Many crops absorb trace elements from soil and store the elements in their leaves, where the elements can become immobilized. Seaweed foliar spray can help remobilize those elements. We also note that a considerable proportion of photosynthesis is carried out by bacterial action and other processes at the leaf surface; thus, spraying leaves with seaweed extract likely increases rate of photosynthesis. Seaweeds also contain another valuable component: antibiotics. Crops treated with seaweed products develop a resistance to pests and diseases such as spider mites, aphides, scab, mildew and fungi. Our research shows that the spray contains compounds that reduce or nullify the effect of pathogens and pests inside and outside plants and other crops. Several studies indicate that soil-borne crop diseases of plants are reduced by adding seaweed products to the soil were the first recorded instance of the control of disease by organic manure. Other intriguing studies suggest that seaweed extract strengthens the immune system of crops and the animals that consume them. The research is not yet totally clear, but our scientists suspect that seaweed extracts stimulate crops to make vitamins, anti-oxidants, and other beneficial compounds that might not otherwise be made in useful quantities by the crops.
