Better Growing With Kelp

AGGRAND Natural Fertilizer, Kelp and Sulfate of Potash contains two percent sulfate in sulfate form, which is readily available to plants. Sulfur, called the “fourth major nutrient,” has many important functions in plant growth and metabolish, including formation of amino acids, proteins and oils, nitrogen fixation, activation of enzymes and much more. Sufficient sulfur produces high quality and yields of vegetables, tree fruits, small grains, legumes and forages.

Sulfur must be present in sufficient amounts for soil and plant tissue to benefit from nitrogen (N) and potassium (K). AGGRAND Kelp and Sulfate of Potash also contains kelp concentrate from the icy waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. As fertilizer, kelp makes plants healthier and more robust by enhancing their heat, drought and cold tolerance. It also reduces susceptibility to insect and disease attack because leaf cuticles thicken and tissue sugar solute levels (Brix%) rise.
