Company

AgriSea's liquid seaweed extract enhances soil and plant health through regenerative kelp farming. It boosts soil microbiome, carbon retention, and plant vigor, addressing abiotic stressors like heat and drought.

Overview

AgriSea's innovative liquid seaweed extract leverages the benefits of regeneratively farmed kelp to enhance both soil and plant health. This sustainable solution addresses abiotic challenges such as extreme heat and drought, providing a resilient supply chain that benefits the environment. By breaking down the barriers between land and ocean, the extract promotes a "sea to soil" approach, enhancing soil organic carbon levels, improving water retention, and boosting nutrient cycling efficiency. This integration helps rejuvenate soil biology depleted by intensive agriculture and synthetic inputs.

Technical specifications

Key features:

  • Soil Drench: Enhances soil microbiome, increases organic carbon and water retention, and improves nutrient cycling.
  • Foliar Spray: Elicits rapid plant responses, improves plant vigor, and develops robust root architecture, enhancing root/soil contact area for better nutrient and moisture uptake.
  • Sustainability: Kelp farming is a zero-input practice with a minimal carbon footprint, and it complements existing agricultural practices for seamless integration.
Technology readiness level

The technology has reached a maturity of Technology Readiness Level 9, having been validated through extensive trials and research. Current efforts focus on expanding trials with commercial and non-profit partners to further integrate this solution into agricultural value streams.
