Firstly, let us see about the dry content of Laminaria.
The main content
Alginic acid 20%-45%
Protein 8%-15%
Potassium 1.3-3.8%
Sodium 0.9%-2.2%
Water 73-90%
And A detailed chemical composition analysis of Laminaria , categorized and labeled with content ranges (based on 100 grams of dry laminaria):
Iodine 240-700 micrograms, some samples can reach 2000 micrograms
Calcium 100-1177 milligrams, organic calcium form is easily absorbed
Iron 0.9-150 milligrams, significantly affected by growing sea areas
Potassium 930 milligrams, inorganic potassium absorption rate is relatively low
Magnesium 25 milligrams (fresh), dry matter content not specified
Zinc 0.16 milligrams (fresh), dry matter content not specified
Selenium 9.54 micrograms (fresh), dry matter content not specified
Protein 8.2 grams contains 18 kinds of amino acids
Brown algae polysaccharide 30%-50% dry weight includes alginate and fucoidan
Mannitol 3%-5% dry weight
Dietary fiber 0.5 grams (fresh)
Carbohydrates 2.1 grams (fresh) primarily in the form of brown algal starch
Vitamin B1 0.69 mg participates in energy metabolism
Vitamin B2 0.36 mg dry matter content
Vitamin E 1.85 mg (fresh) antioxidant
In a word, Laminaria as the source of seaweed extract fertilizer, it has a complete nutrient of plant necessary particles, such as mineral element, bio active ingredient, natural vitamine, PGR etc. It can fully supplement soil nutrients. the brown alginate, mannitol (3%-5%) dry weight), and plant growth regulators (such as cytokinins and gibberellins) can stimulate root development and enhance nutrient absorption efficiency. Seaweed polysaccharides can increase soil aeration and water retention, promote microbial reproduction, and alleviate soil compaction. Components such as betaine and iodine can enhance the drought resistance, cold resistance, and salt and alkali tolerance of crops, and reduce pests and diseases.
Tianjin Agritech Bioindustry Co Ltd always persists its high quality source used in seaweed extraction, our Algamas seaweed extract has convinced Laminaria has many function in plant nutrition. Algamas is now selling across many countries around the world.
