Plant & Soil Health Problems & Culbac® Plant Solutions

The precise mechanisms in Culbac Plant Biostimulants, like those in commonly used seaweed extracts and protein hydrolysates, are coming to light in scientific studies. While competitor products are adding seaweed topically, Culbac products stand out because we ferment the seaweed to release the nutrients and biostimulants, preparing them for direct uptake in the plant. These biostimulants are applied to plant structures, ensuring maximum efficiency. Culbac Plant Biostimulants do contain a number of trace elements, amino acids, and phytohormones (including cytokinins). This blend of bioactive compounds, paired with organic matter, is believed to have a synergistic effect, rendering their mode of action as complex as the products themselves, stimulating natural processes to enhance microbial biostimulants.

Although Culbac Plant Biostimulants contain levels of elements essential to plant health and include valuable amino acids, they aren’t intended to replace full fertilizer rations, but allow for minimization of fertilizer use upon year-over-year use by improving the uptake of the nutrients in the soil and any fertilizers added. Instead, du jardin-inspired Culbac Plant products are designed to supplement and minimize the need for a fertilizer program, allowing the plant to utilize the maximum amount of nutrients available. Most customers bringing their soil back to life using minimal Culbac treatments are able to easily minimize their fertilizer use by 10 – 50% year after year. Even at a 10% reduction in fertilizer use, Culbac soil treatments pay for themselves in savings, and increase overall farm production for a highly positive return on investment.
