Tagline: “Spray Growth, Strengthen Life.”
1. Product Description
Crown BioKelp™ is a seaweed-based liquid foliar biofertilizer enriched with amino acids and beneficial microbes. It enhances leaf chlorophyll, nutrient absorption, and plant stress tolerance, making it ideal for Agarwood, sandalwood, ylang-ylang, cinnamon, nutmeg, and other aromatic trees.
This product is eco-friendly, fully organic, and synergistic with COBI’s soil biofertilizers (BioGrow™, MycoBoost™, VitaSoil™, Ecozyme™), providing a complete nutrient and microbial solution for plantation crops.
2. Key Ingredients
| Component | Function / Role |
|---|---|
| Seaweed Extract (Kelp) | Rich in trace minerals, natural cytokinins, auxins, and gibberellins; promotes chlorophyll synthesis and root development |
| Amino Acids | Enhance plant metabolism, photosynthesis, and stress tolerance |
| Beneficial Microbes | Bacillus subtilis, Trichoderma harzianum – support leaf surface microbial balance and disease suppression |
| Humic/Fulvic Acids | Improve nutrient uptake efficiency and foliar absorption |
3. Mechanism of Action
- Foliar Nutrient Absorption – Delivers micronutrients and growth-promoting compounds directly to leaves.
- Plant Growth Stimulation – Seaweed hormones and amino acids stimulate root and shoot development.
- Stress Resistance – Enhances drought tolerance, cold tolerance, and resilience to transplant shock.
- Synergy with Soil Fertilizers – Works alongside BioGrow™, MycoBoost™, VitaSoil™, Ecozyme™ for comprehensive plant nutrition.
- Microbial Support – Beneficial microbes colonize leaf surfaces, reducing pathogen incidence.
4. Recommended Application
| Stage / Crop | Application Method | Rate / Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Seedlings / Nursery | Foliar spray | 10 mL per L water every 2–3 weeks |
| Transplanting / Field Establishment | Foliar spray on leaves and shoots | 10–15 mL per L water every 3–4 weeks |
| Established Trees / Pre-Inoculation | Foliar spray around canopy | 10–15 mL per L water monthly |
| Integrated with Soil Fertilizers | Combine with BioGrow™, MycoBoost™, VitaSoil™applications | Follow respective application schedules |
Note: Spray preferably in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid direct sunlight.
