Biostimulants

Biostimulants

Biostimulants in agriculture are natural or biologically derived substances that enhance plant growth, nutrient absorption, and stress tolerance, without directly supplying nutrients. They work by stimulating the plant's own natural processes to improve nutrient use efficiency, boost tolerance to abiotic stresses and increase overall crop quality and yield. 

Amino acids

Amino acids are the fundamental units of proteins, which are essential for plant growth and development. Amino acids engage in numerous plant functions, including photosynthesis, nutrient uptake and stress defence. Whilst plants can naturally synthesise all their essential amino acids, it can be a very energy-intense process, so applications of readily available amino acids can liberate energy to other processes during times of peak growth or stress.

Terrasorb Foliar Extra

High quality fully available form of amino acids derived from vegetable sources which penetrate inside plant cells, increasing their photosynthesis activity and chlorophyll content. Amino acids also regulate many metabolic processes in plants.

Kirol 

Kirol is a unique complex of bioactive amino acids and L-PGA (pidolic acid), a nitrogen use efficiency metabolite.

Equilibrium

A liquid mixture of seaweed extract and amino acids that contributes to a better phytohormonal regulation of the plant in the stages of development and fruit growth, thus optimizing the processes of cell division and mobilization of reserves to the growing organs. Ideal in stress periods or periods of rapid growth.        

Green Balance

A liquid mixture of seaweed extract, amino acids and trace elements containing

free amino acids 10%, alginic acid 1.5%, mannitol 0.5%, potassium (K2O) 2.5%, phosphorus (P2O5) 1.5%, plus traces of boron, copper, magnesium, molybdenum and zinc. It also contains polysaccharides, betaines, glycolipids and sterols.

Stimulate triple

Stimulate Triple is a cold-pressed seaweed extract of Ascophyllum nodosum and amino acids with ​an added nutrient blend​ to replace Maxicrop Triple. It contains nitrogen 3%, phosphorus 1.5%, potassium 3% and traces of iron, magnesium, manganese and zinc.

Amix Bioman

Amix Bioman is a combined manganese micronutrient and biostimulant product containing manganese 147 g/L, sulphur 224.6 g/L (SO3), nitrogen, magnesium plus amino, humic and fulvic acids.

Amix BioMag

Amix BioMag is a combined nitrogen + magnesium feed and biostimulant rich in L-proline and L-glutamine amino acids derived from fermented plant material.

Proplex

Proplex is a unique combination of synergistic biostimulant raw materials formulated with Micromix’s proprietary Amix Active Uptake Complex delivery system with the purpose of encouraging crop health, yield and quality and with an unrivalled ability to de-stress crops. Typical analysis: nitrate nitrogen 2%, magnesium 0.3%, thiosulphur 5%, copper 0.05%, boron 0.15%, iron 0.2%, manganese 0.1%, zinc 0.5%, carbon 1.25%, Ascophyllum (algae) 5%, and traces of L-amino acids, betaines, vitamin B1, giberellins and auxins.

Sulfastim

Sulfastim is a systemic sulphur fertiliser and biostimulant co-formulation containing sulphur, nitrogen, amino acids, humates and betaines.

Tracel

Tracel is a liquid mix of essential plant nutrients with an added amino acid    complex for oilseed rape containing 7.5% N, 7% B, 3.9% S, 2% Mg, 0.2% Mo + amino acids.

Seaweed     

Seaweed is a well-known and widely used biostimulant in agriculture and horticulture. Seaweed extracts contain natural plant growth hormones like auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins. These hormones play a crucial role in various plant processes, including root development, stem elongation and flowering.

C-weed AAA

C-Weed AAA is a truly different biostimulant algal extract, which contains seaweed concentrate produced from a cool extraction process using only Ascophyllum nodosum. It is typically rich in cytokinins and contains natural auxins, amino acids, and gibberellins along with alginic acid, mannitol, fucoidan and laminarin.

Humic products

Humic products such as humic and fulvic acid are natural substances that can be extracted from humus and act to promote plant growth, improve crop health and soil biology.

L-CBF Boost

A liquid carbon-based fertiliser containing humates and fulvic acid based on sugar cane molasses, yeast extract and nutrients. It is designed to feed soil microbes, increase the efficiency and performance of applied fertiliser, build long-term soil fertility and increase crop yield potential.

L-CBF Terrafed

A liquid carbon-based additive designed for organic farms or to accompany liquid fertilisers to improve efficiency, feed soil microbes, build long-term soil fertility and increase crop yield potential.

Fulvix PGA

A foliar or soil-applied material containing 20% fulvic acid combined with PGA to enhance nutrient use efficiency, in particular complexing nutrients for faster uptake through the plant’s membrane.

Gibberellic acid    

Gibberellic acid is a natural plant hormone that promotes crop growth and development by stimulating various physiological and morphological processes, like stem elongation, cell division, and flowering.     

Smart Grass

A water-soluble granule formulation containing 400 g/kg gibberellic acid (GA3) for improving early grass growth.

Fish hydrolysate

Fish hydrolysates are liquid derived from fish byproducts like fish heads, tails, and guts that are broken down through hydrolysis, resulting in a nutrient-rich solution. This process creates smaller, plant-available components, making fish hydrolysate a good source of nutrients and a feed for beneficial soil microbes. 

Sea2Soil (5-10L/ha)

A byproduct of the fish industry which improves soil biology and promotes natural, sustainable plant growth by providing essential nutrients, amino acids, and supporting beneficial microbial activity.
