Biostimulants & Seaweed

Bio-stimulants have become increasingly important as more research is carried out into their positive effects of turf. They have benefits to turf from seed germination right through the growing cycle, and can dramatically improve the overall health of the turf and soil by stimulating microbial activity.

Seaweed is a bio-stimulant. Indigrow’s Compass seaweed products comprise a unique range of molecular seaweed and carbohydrate extract products. These seaweed products are produced using Ascophyllum nodosum, grown at a renewable, sustainable and environmentally friendly source.

Compass products are seaweed based, utilising its ability to stimulate root growth. The seaweed helps the plant to produce thicker and longer roots with more root hairs leading to an increase in water and nutrient scavenging and the plant’s ability to thrive in stress situations. We have extensively trialled our seaweed products, please contact us if you would like to see our independent university research data.

The seaweed used in the Compass products is extracted from the plant using the latest cold cell burst technology. This technology is designed to keep all of the marine molecules intact, allowing them to maintain their bioactive properties. Compass molecular seaweed extract is rich in alginic acid, mannitol, amino acids, minerals and other plant hormone-like molecules. The end product is concentrated and finely filtered to ensure maximum solubility and guarantee ease of application.
