Major differences between seaweed extracts ascophyllum nodosum and ecklonia maxima
| julio 13, 2019We have been learning about the major component of ascophyllum nodosum and ecklonia maxima seaweed extracts, their roles as biostimulants and their benefits with respect to regulating plant growth and boosting plant performance under stress condition. Although they appear to produce similar response in most cases when applied to plant, yet there exist some key differences between this 2 widely used species of seaweed extract.
Our goal is to help you make more informed decision when deciding on kind of seaweed products to apply at any given stage of the plant development taking into account the species from the which the extract was obtained. The table below aims to highlight some of the major differences and some recommendations for according to developmental stage of the plant:
ascophyllum nodosum | ecklonia maxima | Recommendations | |
Regulation of plant growth | Directly Stimulates vegetative growth, flowering and fruit setting due to the effect of higher cytokinins and gibberellins | Directly stimulates lateral root growth and increase in root mass due to the effect of higher concentration of Auxins [these properties are particularly important during fruiting to increase the uptake of nutrient and water.] |
|
Nutritional composition | Richer in concentration of Cytokinns hormones, Macronutrients and Micronutrients. Other special components include, Mannitol, Vitamins, Betaine, and Alginic acid and amino acids. | Richer in natural auxins and other plant hormones, stimulants, plant steroids and phenolic compounds. but has very low concentration of Cytokinns hormones. Until now, we have no documented information about the mineral nutrients present it | They both have strong effect in helping cope with biotic and abiotic stress conditions. The key is knowing the current phenological stage of the crop and applying the recommendations found in first role of this table in order to achieve the best result and value from applications. |
