NZ Agriculture/Horticulture examples:
 Seaweed & Dairy
“I have been using AgriSea products on my dairy farm for three seasons now. The herd gets a small daily “preventative” dose through the troughs and my vet bills are almost non-existent.” Paul Carswell, Richmond Farms, Te Aroha, NZ.
“Just keep making that seaweed Animal Nutrition - my cows love you for it.” Murray, Netherton Dairy Farmer

Seaweed & Orchard crops
An experienced New Zealand orchardist reports: “Heritage Farm has been applying AgriSea Soil and Foliar concentrates for four seasons now and every year we see more benefits and less problems. We use both the Soil and Foliar brews on kiwifruit, plums and asparagus. The benefits, improved taste and storage, better flesh firmness and higher brix, have become more apparent every year and we will continue to use these products as part of our management practices”.
Richard Prew, Heritage Farm, Cambridge, NZ.
Seaweed & Kiwifruit
AgriSea commissioned a three year research programme in five kiwifruit orchards in the Bay of Plenty. Results showed a superior fruit firmness after six months cool storage; a reduction in rots; a significantly lower level of storage pitting; an increase in dry matter and brix levels. Email info@agrisea.co.nz for further information.
“We have been using soil and foliar feed for the past three seasons and as a result had no problem qualifying for the “Taste Zespri” programme. Our dry matter results for the past two seasons have been amongst the best in the packhouse. We have had a massive increase in worm activity in the orchard and the worm count last year was thirty worms per spade spit.”
Dave & Kathy Fountain. Tauranga Kiwifruit Growers
Seaweed & Grapes
Normally I would apply magnesium sulphate on my crop to prevent chlorosis of the foliage, particularly towards the end of the season. However, after using your Foliar Nutrient I didn’t need any further magnesium sulphate. It was noticeable that the canopy was healthier and darker green looking than the untreated controls. The foliage also remained on the vines much longer at the end of the season. This benefits the following season’s crop, as the leaves will be feeding the buds that will produce next season’s vintage. I will be continuing with your products next season and feel sure they have improved the overall quality of my crop.
