LIQUID KELP
SPECIALLY FORMULATED LIQUID FERTILISER FOR TURF
SIGNATURE LIQUID KELP is a 100% liquid
concentrate designed to deliver highconcentrations of the plant hormones Auxin
and Cytokinin. The ratio of hormones in
Signature Liquid Kelp will encourage thegrowth and expansion of the root systems in
the turf profile as well as overcoming a varietyof stress conditions. Signature Liquid Kelp ismanufactured from the fastest growing varietyof seaweed on the planet (Ecklonia maxima)
and extracted using non-chemical methods.

TECHNICAL DOCUMENT

LIQUID KELP

LIQUID SEAWEED CONCENTRATESIGNATURE LIQUID KELP is a concentrated form of natural plant hormones
derived from seaweed. Extracted from the fastest growing seaweed on theplanet (Ecklonia maxima), Signature Liquid Kelp delivers Cytokinins and Auxins
to help expand and increase the root mass of turfgrass. Simply, without thepresence and activity of hormones turf would not grow. Plant Hormones control
the rate and direction of growth and are only required in very small amounts.
Auxins (Indole Acetic Acid) controls cell expansion, elongation and help initiate
cell division. It affects the elasticity of cell walls (like blow up a balloon) allowing
the cell to expand and grow.
Cytokinins affect the rate of cell division and therefore the promotion of growth.
Of more importance is the role that Auxins and Cytokinins have when they are incombination. Depending on the concentration of both these hormones, root orshoot growth can be initiated. Signature Liquid Kelp contains a high concentrationof Auxins and a lower concentration of Cytokinins. This ratio will result in an
increase of root mass.
The advantages of an increase in root mass are many and varied.
- Improved water and nutrient uptake efficiency.
- Overcoming stress conditions.
- Improved overall health and condition of turf.
Research has also shown that these hormones in combination with other organic
compounds can manage the presence of nematodes to an acceptable level.
Signature Liquid Kelp should not be seen as an organic fertiliser or a way of
increasing soil organic matter but more as a tool for changing how the turf willgrow.
The issues in growing quality Turfgrass are many and varied. The use of Signature
Liquid Kelp and other products in the “ Simplot Signature Series” will aid incontrolling the delivery of nutrients to turf.
