Antioxidants Aren’t Just for Humans

Ascophyllum extracts are effective in disease suppression through increased activity of protective enzymes (antioxidants) that target oxidizing ‘ toxins’ produced by the disease pathogen. This increase in the plant’s ability to ward off disease is called systemic acquired response (SAR). Kelp is also high in potassium (K), which regulates osmosis and cell pressure and reduces the susceptibility to insect and disease attack. It also stimulates rooting, photosynthesis, chlorophyll formation, starch formation and the movement of sugars through the plant tissues, which means better tasting fruit and vegetables.

Studies have shown that the introduction of microbes into plant growth cycles generates an anti-oxidative environment in the soil. This in turn can lead to an increased accumulation of antioxidants in the plant tissues, contributing to the general state of health. This is what AGGRAND Natural Fertilizers have in them.
