High Alginic Acid + Balanced Nutrition + 2-4mm Flakes: Organic Biostimulant for Crop Stress Resistance & Quality Improvement
A scientific formulation of alginic acid (>18%, core advantage), nitrogen (>2%), potassium (>18%) and organic matter (>30%), featuring 100% water solubility and 2-4mm flake form. This is not a simple combination of nutrients, but a deep synergy of "highly active stress resistance + balanced nutrition supplementation + convenient flake form". Leveraging its pH 8-9 alkaline characteristics, it retains the natural biological activity of seaweed, offering multiple benefits including stress resistance, soil conditioning, and quality improvement. Suitable for various crops, it is a cost-effective input for green agriculture.
1. Mutual Enhancement: Activating Activity and Nutrient Synergy. The core advantage of alginic acid >18% activates crop defense systems and strengthens cell walls. Combined with balanced nitrogen (>2%) and potassium (>18%) supplementation, it meets crop growth needs. Organic matter (>30%) retains nutrients, reduces loss, and improves nitrogen and potassium utilization efficiency by over 13%. 100% water solubility combined with 2-4mm flakes ensures rapid, complete dissolution without residue, no need for prolonged stirring, and uniform nutrient release, allowing the active components of alginic acid and NPK nutrients to be absorbed simultaneously by crops, achieving the dual empowerment of "activity activation + nutrient supply".
2. Soil Improvement: Building a Foundation for Sustainable Farming. The product maintains a stable pH of 8-9, weakly alkaline, which can specifically adjust acidic soil pH and balance soil physical and chemical properties. Organic matter >30% significantly enriches soil organic nutrients, and together with alginic acid, promotes the formation of soil aggregate structure, enhancing soil aeration, water and nutrient retention. It also nourishes beneficial soil microorganisms, optimizes the rhizosphere microecology, and supports sustainable farming. The 2-4mm flake size ensures even distribution without localized accumulation when broadcast, suitable for various field and greenhouse planting scenarios.
3. Synergistic Root Promotion: Strengthening Absorption Capacity. Alginic acid stimulates the germination of capillary roots and lateral roots, thickens roots, and enhances root vitality, laying the foundation for nutrient absorption. Nitrogen supports root cell division, while potassium strengthens root stress resistance. The synergy of these three achieves the integration of "promoting, strengthening, and nourishing roots". The 100% water solubility allows nutrients to rapidly penetrate the root zone, combined with the convenient application of flakes, suitable for key root development stages such as post-transplanting and seedling stages.
4. Antibacterial and Disease Resistance: Enhancing Stress Resilience. Alginic acid >18% activates the crop's own immune system, strengthens cellular defense capabilities, reduces pathogen infection, and significantly improves crop tolerance to drought, cold, and salinity, alleviating growth stress caused by extreme weather and adverse soil conditions, reducing the probability of physiological diseases, aligning with the core advantages of stress resistance and immune enhancement.
5. Quality and Efficiency Improvement: Empowering High Yield and Income. The synergy of alginic acid, nitrogen, and potassium stimulates crop photosynthesis, promotes nutrient accumulation, improves fruit sugar content, firmness, and coloration, and extends shelf life. 100% water solubility ensures rapid nutrient absorption without waste. The 2-4mm flakes are easy to store, transport, and precisely dose, achieving "low dosage, high effect", balancing yield increase and quality optimization, suitable for all growth stages of various crops.
Expert Advice: Suitable for all growth stages of various crops, particularly for stress prevention, soil improvement, and quality enhancement needs. For drip irrigation or fertigation, dissolve in advance; for broadcasting, spread evenly and then plow under. Preventive application before stress conditions yields better results. Using with conventional fertilizers can further enhance fertilizer efficiency, achieving reduced input with increased efficiency and high-quality yield.

Seaweed extract flakes balance acid soil improvement, root promotion and potassium supplementation, stress resistance and quality enhancement, supporting ecological planting and high-quality yield.
Organic matter quickly replenishes soil humus, improves aggregate structure, and alleviates compaction. Alginic acid activates fixed nutrients in the soil, enhancing their availability.
Potassium oxide meets crop needs for fruit expansion and stem strengthening, promoting flower bud differentiation and fruit development. Nitrogen provides stable basic nutrition, working synergistically with alginic acid to improve plant vigor and ensure balanced nutrient supply.
Alginic acid stimulates crop stress resistance genes, improving drought, cold, and disease tolerance. High potassium strengthens stem toughness and lodging resistance, helping crops grow robustly under extreme conditions and reducing flower and fruit drop.
Nutrients dissolve rapidly and release evenly. Alginic acid improves fruit quality, while high potassium increases fruit sweetness and coloration, reduces deformed fruits, extends shelf life, and significantly enhances the commercial value and total yield of agricultural products.
The 2-4mm flakes are uniform in size, 100% water soluble, and can be broadcast, applied via fertigation, drip irrigation, or mixed with fertilizers. Suitable for various scenarios including field crops, greenhouses, and orchards, compatible with diverse crop cultivation needs.
Ihumate is backed by globally recognized certifications.
