Seaweed has been used in agriculture
for many centuries, especially in coastal communities. Agricultural and horticultural historians say that seaweed was second only to manures as a natural fertilizer. Ascophyllum nodosum, the intertidal seaweed species that Ocean Organics harvests on the coast of Maine, is the most well-researched of the species used for commercial extracts for agricultural and horticultural applications.
In recent decades, the benefits of
A. nodosum extracts have been documented in the scientific literature
and confirmed by grower experience.
