Pure Cold Pressed

Nothing but Kelp is our philosophy when it comes to producing Ukelp liquid Kelp suspension. Ukelp liquid kelp suspension is only made from wet Ecklonia Maxima Kelp and is milled to produce a smooth suspension and finally cold-pressed to produce pure Kelp extract.

​

The Ukelp production procedure utilizes cutting edge cell bursting technology from fresh kelp seaweed without the use of any chemicals or heat. This is the most effective manner to retain the bioactive compounds naturally present in the kelp. When kelp is cold-pressed in this procedure the fresh seaweed cell walls are disrupted and bioactive compounds are released into what we term a liquid suspension. This kelp liquid suspension contains a multitude of vitamins, proteins, amino acids, organic acids, growth hormones, betaines, phytohormones, polysaccharides and mineral compounds that are beneficial for crop growth and health.

 

The end product will include a slight amount of freshwater from the moist press and the minimum amount of citric acid required to preserve and stabilize the product for shelf life.​ It is very well established that Kelp increases agricultural yields substantially by stimulating growth particularly pertaining to the roots which in turn supports the health of the plant. Some of the benefits of Ecklonia maxima kelp seaweed extract include: ​

​

• Improved root development: The extract stimulates root growth, leading to stronger and deeper root systems. This enhances nutrient uptake and improves plant stability.

• Enhanced nutrient absorption: Ukelp's Ecklonia maxima kelp seaweed contains natural plant hormones and growth stimulants that promote better absorption of essential nutrients from the soil, resulting in healthier and more vigorous plants.

• Increased tolerance to environmental stress: Ukelp helps crops and turf withstand various stressors, such as drought, heat, cold, and salinity. It improves their resilience and enables them to recover faster from adverse conditions.

• Enhanced plant defense mechanisms: Ukelp activates the plant's natural defense systems, making it more resistant to diseases, pests, and pathogens. This reduces the need for chemical pesticides and enhances overall plant health.

• Improved chlorophyll production: Ukelp's Ecklonia maxima kelp seaweed suspension enhances chlorophyll synthesis, leading to greener leaves and better photosynthesis. This results in increased energy production and improved plant growth.

• Balanced soil microbiome: Ukelp promotes the growth of beneficial soil microorganisms, such as mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial bacteria. This enhances soil fertility, nutrient cycling, and overall soil health.

• Increased yield and crop quality: Ukelp has been shown to enhance crop yields and improve the quality of harvested produce. It promotes better fruit set, larger crop sizes, and improved flavor and nutritional content.

• Improved water retention: The Ukelp suspension helps the soil retain moisture, reducing the need for frequent irrigation. This is particularly beneficial in arid or drought-prone regions, where water conservation is essential.

• Accelerated seed germination and plant establishment: Applying the extract to seeds or young plants can enhance germination rates and speed up establishment. This is particularly useful in sports turf or agricultural settings where quick establishment is desired.

• Sustainable and organic option: Ukelp's Ecklonia maxima kelp seaweed suspension is a natural and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fertilizers and chemical additives. It promotes sustainable agriculture and reduces the environmental impact associated with conventional farming practices.

​

These benefits make Ukelp Ecklonia maxima kelp seaweed suspension a valuable tool for promoting healthier and more productive sports turf and agricultural crops.
