The importance of algae for plants

In our daily work alongside farmers, we are confronted with an increasingly demanding reality: efficient, sustainable and resilient cultivation. In this context, algae for plants represent one of the most valuable and undervalued natural resources. For years, we have been investing in research and experimentation in the field of natural biostimulants, and we firmly believe that algae extracts can make a difference in modern agronomic programmes.

Why algae are essential for plant health and growth

The algae are marine organisms rich in bioactive compounds. In nature, they live in extreme environments, surviving variations in temperature, salinity, light and environmental conditions. This ability to adapt translates, in agricultural biostimulants, into a powerful stimulating and protective action for crops.

The main benefits of algae for agriculture result from the presence of:

  • Natural phytohormones (auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins),
  • Polysaccharides such as alginic acid and laminarin,
  • Vitamins, minerals and amino acids,
  • Osmoprotective compounds (mannitol, betaine).

These substances contribute to:

  • Stimulating root and vegetative development,
  • Increasing resistance to abiotic stresses (drought, temperature changes, salinity),
  • Promote flowering and fruit set,
  • Improve nutrient uptake and photosynthetic efficiency.

When to Use Algae in Crop Cycles

In our technical approach, we propose the use of algae in agriculture at specific times to maximise its benefits:

  • Pre-planting and sowingto stimulate root emission and improve rooting.
  • During environmental stressto support the plant and speed up recovery.
  • In the vegetative phase, to promote balanced and vigorous growth.
  • Before floweringto increase the quality and quantity of production.

The synergic action of the compounds contained in the algae allows the plant to respond better to environmental stimuli, enhancing physiological processes without stressing it.


Alga Extra: our solution with Ascophyllum nodosum, EckloniaMaxima and Laminaria digitata

What makes Alga Extra different?

- It is 100% natural and contains only Ascophyllum nodosum, EckloniaMaxima and Laminaria digitata;
- Extraction is cold, to keep the bioactive molecules intact;
- It is rich in natural phytohormones, alginic acid, betaine and mannitol;
- It has a liquid formulation that can be easily mixed with fertilisers and plant protection products;
- It is versatile, suitable for foliar and fertigation applications.

We use Alga Extra in fruit growing, horticulture, cereals, olives and vines. The results we see in the field speak for themselves: more developed roots, more responsive plants, more uniform and stable production.


Extract quality: the value of technology

One of the aspects we do not compromise on is the quality of raw material and manufacturing process. The beneficial properties of algae are only maintained if they are processed with care and respect.

For Alga Extra we have chosen a process of cold mechanical extractionsolvent-free, which preserves all functional compounds. Each batch is standardised, traceable and certifiedto ensure consistently high performance at all times.

Why we believe in algae for plants: our vision

Working every day to offer effective yet sustainable solutions, we are convinced that the Plant algae represent a strategic resource for future agriculture. Not only because they improve plant physiology, but because they do so in a natural way that respects the environment and the health of the operator.

With Alga Extra we provide farmers and technicians with a product that encompasses the force of nature and the precision of research. We do not promise miracles, but concrete results, observable in the field.


How to integrate Alga Extra into agronomic programmes

Alga Extra can easily be included in normal fertilisation plans, both in conventional and organic farming. Due to its compatibility and non-invasive action, it can be used:

  • alone, to stimulate the plant at specific stages;
  • in a mixture with fertilisers and crop protection agents to amplify their effectiveness.

We recommend applications every 10-15 days, depending on the crop and phenological stage, always following the directions on the label or the technical support of our agronomists.

In our way of farming, innovation is never divorced from respect for the land. And the algaewith their extraordinary natural wealth, represent one of the purest and most effective expressions of this philosophy.

Alga Extra was born from this vision: a natural biostimulant powerful, safe and sustainable, rooted in real technical expertise and a transparent production process.

If you also believe in an agriculture that looks to the future with competence and respect, we invite you to try Alga Extra. Your plants - and your soil - will confirm this.
