MARE KELP
Natural Kelp Seaweed Extract for Rooting, Fruit Setting and Yield Improvement
MARE KELP is obtained through natural extraction from Ecklonia maxima, a kelp seaweed known for its high biological activity in plant biostimulation. The product acts as a root promoter and metabolic activator, encouraging the formation of new root hairs and active growth points. This stronger root system improves the plant’s capacity to absorb water and nutrients, especially during key stages such as transplanting, early vegetative growth, flowering and fruit setting.
Thanks to its auxin-cytokinin balance, MARE KELP supports both underground and above-ground development. By stimulating root activity, it helps increase endogenous cytokinin production in the plant, which contributes to vegetative growth, fruit development and fruit size. The product also supports calcium movement towards the fruit, helping improve firmness, shelf-life and post-harvest quality. Its use is especially valuable in crops where rooting, fruit uniformity, fruit size, sugar accumulation and stress recovery are decisive for final yield and commercial quality.

Multi-Benefits
MARE KELP provides a complete physiological response in the crop by activating root growth, improving nutrient absorption and supporting reproductive development. Its action begins in the root system, where it promotes new root hairs and increases root mass, allowing plants to make better use of available water and nutrients.
At the same time, MARE KELP helps improve fruit number, size, colour and sugar content. It also supports the crop during stressful periods and contributes to better shelf-life during cold storage, making it a strategic solution for high-value crops where both yield and post-harvest quality are essential.
Key Benefits
- Promotes rooting and the development of new root hairs.
- Increases root mass and seedling growth.
- Improves nutrient uptake and crop establishment.
- Supports flowering and fruit setting.
- Helps increase fruit number, size, colour and sugar content.
- Contributes to better fruit firmness and post-harvest shelf-life.
- Helps alleviate the effects of abiotic stress.
- Supports yield improvement in horticultural, fruit, tropical and extensive crops.
- Suitable for foliar and soil applications.
Technical Advantages
MARE KELP is formulated with 30% w/v seaweed kelp extract and a natural hormone profile that includes auxins at 450 ppm and cytokinins at 1200 ppm. This makes it especially effective for stimulating root activity and improving plant physiological balance during demanding growth stages.
Its high content of natural bioactive compounds, including polysaccharides, alginic acid, mannitol and naturally derived micronutrients, helps activate plant metabolism and improves crop response under stress. The product can be applied by foliar spray or through the soil, offering flexibility for different crop management programmes.
