KelMAX is a premium quality natural seaweed concentrate developed specifically for the needs of professional turfgrass. KelMAX is derived from the freshly harvested South African seaweed Ecklonia maxima. The unique characteristics of this seaweed species and the proprietary method of hormone extraction, results in a biostimulant with the ideal auxin to cytokinin ratio to trigger the maximum root response when applied to turfgrass. While the extraction process used by most other seaweed products destroys the contained auxins in preference to the cytokinins, KelMAX retains the integrity of the naturally occurring high auxin content only found in Ecklonia maxima seaweed.

Key Features

  • Enriched with highly active natural auxins to trigger root initiation in turfgrass.
  • Ideal auxin to cytokinin ratio (>300:1) that achieves the greatest root growth response.
  • Guaranteed level of plant available free auxins at 75 μg/L for rapid utilisation by turfgrass.
  • More efficient soil nutrient uptake from new root tips and extended rootmass.
  • Faster recovery from turfgrass injury due to renovation practices or nematode attack.
  • Improved plant health and increase stress tolerance.
