The TourTurf® GSC Granular Seaweed Conditioner contains consistently high levels of plant hormones including Betaines, Auxins, Cytokinins and Giberellins that trigger stimulation of plants to produce their roots, shoots and stem elongation.
Meanwhile, the Alginic acid and Mannitol are recognised as important plant function enhancers whilst natural bioactives Laminarin and Fucoidan play a significant part in warding off pathogenic soil bacteria, as well as enhancing plant antioxidant activities.
