Ihumate Alginate Oligosaccharides (AOS): a premium 90% powder for agricultural biostimulant and fertilizer formulations. Targeted enzymatic hydrolysis of brown-algae alginate produces low-molecular-weight oligosaccharides with a degree of polymerization (DP) of 2–6. Their mannuronic (M) and guluronic (G) acid units and unsaturated end groups distinguish this defined AOS fraction from a broad seaweed extract. A 10–20% liquid option is also available for liquid formulation work.
For crops facing weak roots, uneven nutrient uptake, drought or salinity, AOS acts as a plant signaling elicitor that can support root development, leaf activity and natural defense responses. It fits foliar, drip and fertigation programs as well as fertilizer manufacturing. Use it alongside sound nutrition, irrigation and crop protection; confirm results under the local crop, water and stress conditions.
Why source through Ihumate? Clear powder and liquid grade selection, batch COA/TDS support, formulation compatibility discussion, 1–20 kg packing and OEM/ODM options help buyers build a consistent commercial product. The videos show the powder and its water-dispersion process. Packaging pictures are format examples only: printed text is not the guaranteed AOS specification or final label.

| Water-soluble fertilizer | 1.5–3 kg/metric ton |
A defined low-DP AOS fraction and 90% powder grade support precise agricultural formulations for rooting, nutrient efficiency and stress resilience; field responses depend on crop and management.
Brown-algae alginate is converted into DP 2–6 oligosaccharides; the 90% powder enables active-content-based formulation design.
Plant signaling responses can support root elongation and new root formation where slow establishment limits water and nutrient uptake.
Use with balanced NPK and irrigation to support nutrient uptake and leaf physiological activity in high-input crops.
AOS can stimulate plant defense and antioxidant pathways, supporting recovery from salinity, drought and temperature stress.
Batch documents, formulation discussions, export coordination and OEM/ODM packing help align the ingredient with the buyer’s finished-product label.
Ihumate is backed by globally recognized certifications.
