Promoting sustainable agriculture with Algifol®

What is Algifol®?

brown algae
Ascophyllum nodosum

Algifol® is a plant strengthening biostimulant based on brown algae , which was specially developed to strengthen your plants and the natural regeneration of the soil.

 

Thanks to its unique composition of minerals , vitamins and bioactive substances, it optimizes nutrient utilization and increases your plants' tolerance to abiotic stress – sustainably and in harmony with nature.

Ascophyllum nodosum is a wild brown algae that thrives on rocky coasts in temperate climates. It absorbs valuable trace elements from the mineral-rich waters of the Atlantic and stores them in a biologically available form, ideal for plant and soil care.

 

In addition to these trace elements, the algae also contains a high iodine content , which is particularly important for soils and crops in Europe. Ascophyllum nodosum thus naturally supports healthy soils and promotes healthy crops.

Scientific evaluation of effectiveness

The graphic shows the positive effects of Algifol® on plant growth. In combination with N50P26K42 fertilizer and liquid manure
(5 t/ha), Algifol® increased yields on the three soils tested by an impressive 116%.

 

In addition, the fresh and dry matter yield of the shoots increased by 54–57% and 51–54% respectively, while the root biomass in the soil increased by around 69%. A clear improvement was also seen in the zucchini: the number and weight of the fruits, the plant height and the length and number of leaves increased significantly.*

Soil analysis Algifol

The application of Algifol® promotes plant growth by increasing biovolume, plant height, leaf length and width as well as chlorophyll content.

In addition, Algifol® can significantly increase the fresh and dry matter yields of both shoots and roots.

Studies show that the effect of Algifol® varies depending on soil conditions, indicating an interaction between soil and treatment.

This means that Algifol® can be adapted to different soils to achieve its full effect and thus contribute to optimal results in any environment.*

What are the advantages of Algifol®?

The ingredients of Algifol®

Algifol® is rich in minerals and essential trace elements such as magnesium and manganese, as well as vitamins such as vitamin K, polysaccharides, plant hormones such as cytokinin and amino acids such as methionine. It also contains valuable nutrients such as iodine and potassium, which promote plant growth and sustainably improve soil structure.

 

The natural ingredient alginate , obtained from brown algae, optimizes water storage in the soil and ensures improved moisture regulation.

 

This unique combination strengthens plants, improves nutrient uptake and contributes to long-term soil health .

Soil analysis

Algifol® also increases the chlorophyll content, the plant biovolume and the microbial activity in the soil. The brown algae enable plants to absorb nutrients from the soil more efficiently. This plant aid supports and stimulates the metabolic processes of the plants.

 

Particularly noteworthy is the increase in populations of bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi, which leads to improved soil fertility - especially when Algifol™ was combined with organic or inorganic fertilizers.*

Cooler leaves and increased resistance: Algifol® reduces the temperature of plant leaves, making them more resistant to heat and less susceptible to disease.

Algifol-Plant-Health-icon_4x.png

Reduced use of pesticides and water: By improving plant health, farmers can reduce the use of pesticides, while improved water retention capacity reduces plants' water requirements.

Algifol-root-growth-icon_4x.png

Increased root growth for better nutrient uptake: Algifol® promotes root growth, which leads to increased uptake of water and nutrients – for stronger, healthier plants.
