The Uniqueness of Our Seaweeds
 
Ocean Organics processes a variety of cold-water North Atlantic seaweeds — the hardiest plants on earth. The daily life cycle of these seaweeds is unbelievably stressful. As the tides ebb and flow, they are alternately, at low tide, completely exposed on the rocks they're attached to, and at high tide, completely submerged in salt water. In the summer they withstand air temperatures that exceed 100º F when exposed, then quickly tolerate frigid water temperatures when submerged. In winter, air temperatures plunge below -10º F, and water temperatures dip below freezing. They go through these cycles twice a day every day of their lives. Through these extremes, these seaweeds manage to feed themselves entirely through their foliage.

In seaplants, it is the naturally-occuring growth hormone cytokinin which plays a key role in boosting stress tolerance and survival potential under a wide variety of conditions. Similarly, in land plants, cytokinins are critical to plant survival under extreme cultural and environmental stresses. For example, turfgrasses lose their ability to produce cytokinins as soil temperatures warm. Cytokinins are critical in preventing high temperature induced leaf senescence and wilt. 

As leaf senescence increases, chlorophyll content decreases and so does photosynthesis. So at the very time the turfgrass plant needs to produce more carbohydrates to survive, it can’t because it can’t produce the cytokinins necessary to delay senescence and stop the “hemorrhaging of chlorophyll” out of its leaves.

Ocean Organics Extracts 

Two of the primary benefits of our extracts are to build plants' roots and improve stress tolerance. Applied as directed, Ocean Organics extracts can significantly increase stress tolerance and survival potential of plants under intense or seasonal stress. 

The Uniqueness of Our Extracts

We extract the contents of seaweed cells from the seaweeds as gently as anyone can. Many of the most beneficial and active ingredients in seaweed are vulnerable to heat and are damaged by most conventional processing. Our extraction processes are the least destructive of any because we do not dissolve seaweeds into a solution. We are the only manufacturer of fertilizer products that is actually a processor of seaweeds, and we have been processing since the 70's. Quality means everything to us.
