SEACURE
Seacure is an Ascophyllum nodosom seaweed extract that is rich in trace elements and natural growth hormones from the sea. Regular applications of seaweed stimulate plant growth, strengthen cell walls and increase the plant’s natural resistance to disease and insect attack. Research has discovered that the use of seaweed increases production and quality of all types of crops. Applications range from 2 to 4 gallons per acre per year. Seacure is available in cases of 12 pints or quarts, 4 gallons or 5-gallon pails. See also Stress-X.
Seacure is extracted by an alkaline hydrolysis process. The original processing methods have been modified in order to obtain maximum alginates (as seen by improved viscosity at production). The manufacturer’s goal is to produce a superior product with a good shelf life, while also maintaining high production capabilities, so as to provide as fresh a product as possible. Seacure is double-filtered (at low pressure) through .011 inch (.28 mm) square opening stainless steel screens.
Seacure is not OMRI listed, but the manafacturer claims to have met the criteria for certified organic growers in New England, New Jersey and New York. According to the manafacturer, while specific reviews have not occurred in other states and agencies, Seacure meets all present standards of the National Organic Program (NOP).
