Nutrient Profile and Benefits of Kelp Meal

Ascophyllum Nodosum Kelp: This North Atlantic Kelp is highly regarded for its nutrient density and organic content. It provides a variety of essential nutrients that promote robust plant growth and enhance overall soil health.

Total Nitrogen (N): Frankia Kelp Meal contains 1.0% total nitrogen, all of which is water-insoluble. This slow-release nitrogen supports steady plant growth without the risk of nutrient burn, ensuring that plants receive a consistent supply of nitrogen over time.

Micronutrients and Trace Elements: In addition to nitrogen and potassium, Frankia Kelp Meal contains a broad spectrum of trace elements that support enzyme activation, improve nutrient uptake, and promote overall plant growth. These micronutrients are essential for various physiological processes within plants.

Organic Matter: Kelp Meal also adds organic matter to the soil, which improves soil structure, enhances moisture retention, and fosters a healthy soil food web. The organic matter contributes to the long-term health and sustainability of your soil.
