Better Roots, Faster: The Bioactive Advantage Crop Managers Swear By

Same show, sharper insights.

Two consecutive years at IPM ESSEN and three takeaways every crop manager should note from their competitors:

1. Specificity drives solutions.

When a crop manager presents a clear mandate — “we need stronger roots in less time” and “help us build resilience in harsh conditions” — we can deliver a tailored answer and measurable ROI. Vague briefs and just asking for price, does not move our needle.


2. Not all seaweeds are created equal.

Ascophyllum and Ecklonia may be biostimulant industry defaults, but they’re not necessarily the most powerful for your crops. Kelpinor’s Alaria blend introduces a broader spectrum of bioactive compounds that stimulate fibrous root growth, boost stress tolerance and increase yields. It complements, rather than replaces, current extracts - so why settle for less because “everyone else does”?


3. Innovation pares well with tradition.

In a changing climate, the growers adopting diverse bioactives are pulling ahead in efficiency and profitability. Sticking with what’s comfortable won’t safeguard your supply chain. Tradition is often a collective experience of the whole community - and it should therefore be upgraded with the new knowledge we are getting. Ready to future‑proof your operations with a product that goes beyond old Ascophyllum? Connect with me to secure your year’s supply and discuss how bioactive diversity can solve your toughest plant challenges.


At Kelpinor, we like to solve problems in a long lasting manner. No challenge is to big to brainstorm. And when it comes to underdeveloped root systems, we are starting to get quite an understanding.
