Commercial seaweed extracts first appeared on the market in 1950. By the early 1960s they were accepted for feeding of numerous crops because the application of kelp extracts increased the level of dissolved sugars (Brix) in fruit, and demonstrated increased root and bud development over crops to which no kelp was applied. Kelp is integral to the effectiveness of two of the most popular AGGRAND products: the 4-3-3 Natural Fertilizer with Kelp and 0-0-8 Natural Kelp and Sulfate of Potash.

One of the recognized benefits of kelp applications has been increased tolerance to disease. The use of kelp in a foliar program has been shown to strengthen cell walls and to facilitate the absorption of nutrients by plant roots. Specifically, the benefits of kelp are even more apparent when it is applied at particular stages in the growth cycle.
