Enabling The Regenerative Future
Kelpinor is the Norwegian producer of seaweed-based biostimulants verified to improve root growth, nutrient uptake, and crop resilience.
What is a Biostimulant?
A biostimulant is an agricultural input that stimulates natural plant processes independently of nutrients to improve nutrient efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, crop quality, and yield, as defined by EU Regulation 2019/1009 and the U.S. Farm Bill (2018).
Unlike fertilizers, biostimulants work through biological activity in the plant and rhizosphere, not by supplying nutrients.
Seaweed-based biostimulants are widely used for their bioactive compounds, which support root growth, enhance stress tolerance to drought, salinity, and temperature extremes, and contribute to more stable yields.
How does the Biostimulant work?
Seaweed-based biostimulants enhance root growth by activating natural physiological and biochemical processes in plants. Bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides, betaines, and plant hormone-like substances stimulate root initiation, elongation, and branching, leading to a larger and more efficient root system.
Improved root architecture increases nutrient and water uptake, strengthens early crop establishment, and enhances tolerance to abiotic stress including drought, salinity, and temperature extremes. These effects are widely documented in peer-reviewed studies on seaweed extracts and their interaction with plant metabolism and the rhizosphere (Mukherjee & Patel 2020; Salehi et al. 2019; Sujeeth et al. 2022).

Growth and Yield
Seaweed biostimulants boost root growth, leading to increased flowering and fruit yield, improving both quantity and quality.
Stress Tolerance
Plants treated with seaweed biostimulants show enhanced resilience to environmental stresses such as salinity, drought, and cold.
Disease Resistance
Seaweed biostimulants elevates plant resistance against a range of pathogens, including powdery mildew and grey mould.
Nutritional Enhancement
Seaweed biostimulants increase the mineral content in crops like onions, enhancing overall nutritional value and crop quality.
Water and Nutrient Efficiency
Improves plants' efficiency in using water and nutrients, aiding in stress resistance and increasing uptake of essential elements.
Environmental Impact
Yield increase of seaweed-based biostimulants present a sustainable path to increase global food demand and reduce GHG emissions.
