AgriSea Pasture Nutrition is manufactured from a renewable New Zealand seaweed species (Ecklonia Radiata) which is believed to be the most beneficial for the land.

This product is batch-brewed naturally with selected herbs for a period of 50 days. Seaweed is a highly complex material and typically contains over 60 minerals and elements, 12 vitamins, 21 amino acids, simple and complex carbohydrates. There are significant levels of important micronutrients essential for plant and animal health in seaweed. AgriSea’s natural brewing process is unique, and does not use heat, chemicals, freezing or dehydration to ensure the sensitive natural hormones and micronutrients are not ‘de-natured’ during the process. The plant hormones – auxins, gibberellins and cytokinins are natural growth stimulants that assist with:

a) increased root mass production, reducing the impact of drought and accelerating nutrient uptake
b) develops a dense high quality sward without the rankness that nitrogen provides.

AgriSea Pasture Nutrition is an excellent complimentary mineral and trace element boost for grazing pasture. Foliar spraying of seaweed to pasture (when conditions are suitable) has been shown to be 95% efficient. Within one hour of spraying most of the nutrient has been translocated through the leaf into the plant.

AgriSea Pasture Nutrition delivers:

• a complete nutrient package
• significant increase in root mass development
• nutrient assistance to pastures under stress – droughts etc
• no chemical additives, no residues = no withholding periods
• nutrients translocated into the plant quickly and efficiently
• stock prefer seaweed treated pasture resulting in increased palatability.

Directions for use:

Dilution: 1:100
Application: 5L per hec

For best results apply:

• in the Spring and Autumn at beginning of growth flush
• when paddocks are shut up for hay to add density and dry matter
• to increase forage yield and quality
• in periods of low light to boost quality of feed (apply today for tomorrows feed).

“I sprayed it in front of the cows one year just before calving when they were getting bloat because the grass was frosted. The bloat just stopped,”
Paul Carswell, Dairy farmer.

Manufactured from a sustainable NZ resource this product is hand brewed in small batches over 90 days. A mixture of herbs is added to provide a balanced ‘tonic’ for the benefit of soil dwelling organisms, as well as the root systems. Plants do not live by NPK alone –micronutrients are essential for plant growth and development. Seaweed, being a rich source of available micronutrients, supplements and compliments NPK. AgriSea Soil Conditioner is excellent at helping to release nutrients previously unavailable for plant use.

It is also a very good compost starter and activator. “Turf grass trials conducted at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute found that seaweed applications to the soil increased root mass from 67% to 175% when compared to the untreated plots”.

AgriSea Soil Conditioner:

• increases soil micro-biological activity – more worms and microbes to manufacture humus for soil health
• soil health improves progress with each application
• no harmful residues = no withholding period after application
• improved palatability - “stock will clean paddocks up”
• releases locked-up minerals and nutrients
• promotes healthy root mass development and therefore increases the density of pasture
• greater root mass provides additional protection in times of drought
• ideal as a compost starter and/or activator because its primary
• function is to feed biological life.
