Biostimulants, such as the ones developed by The Magic Molecule Co., work to support and boost a plant’s own natural development by helping it absorb even more nutrition from the soil around it.
From healthier looking gardens to sweeter tasting produce, biostimulants can be categorised by the very small amounts needed to create a very large effect.
"A biostimulant applied to a plant or seed, or to its immediate environment, brings about beneficial change without becoming incorporated into the plant structure. It may boost nutrient uptake and influence metabolic energy usage, thus helping the plant to better achieve its potential, especially during times of stress."
By regularly adding a good biostimulant product to gardening and lawn maintenance, gardeners will cultivate a better quality, more robust lawn, and abundant flowers? For the keen, ‘grow your own’ gardeners amongst us, biostimulants will also produce a higher yield of tastier fruit and vegetables from allotments.
The health benefits of biostimulants has inspired both commercial and home growers alike, especially when it comes to growing sweeter fruit and bigger vegetables. Used for professional cultivation, including the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (or AHDB), this activator of plant growth can unlock your garden’s full potential.
In essence, biostimulants work to support the plant as it grows and develops throughout its whole life cycle.
A good biostimulant will increase plant's metabolism, enabling it to grow more efficiently and healthily in various ways.
It improves, for example, a plant’s tolerance and recovery from stress caused from pests, disease and the environment. It also helps plants absorb nutrients and water more easily from the soil and uses them to grow stronger.
Biostimulants achieve desirable outcomes for growers by giving a natural boost to a plant’s sugar content, resulting in bigger flowers, more varied and generous colours, greater foliage, better lawn surfaces and better quality fruit and vegetables.
Soil condition is also enhanced as biostimulants encourage a mutually beneficial and harmonious relationship with the “micro-organisms” that live within the plant’s surroundings.
Flavonoids are one of nature’s most versatile molecules. What makes them so useful is their ability to move electrons around within the molecule which creates a number of different functionalities.
When a flavonoid molecule approaches another molecule, electrostatic interactions attract or repel electrons within the flavonoid, consigning them to another location. This changes the flavonoid's properties enabling a wide range of reactions with other molecules.
Flavonoid molecules can be stored in a safe manner until needed, which makes them ideal maintenance and survival tool for plants. From UV absorption to anti-microbial protection, bioflavonoids can change and adapt to become a plant’s best defence.
From garden-variety pests, to man-made or natural stressors, the daily strain on your garden can be hard to manage. With a biostimulant acting as nutritional support, the flowers and shrubs around your garden, and fruit and veg grown in the greenhouse or in the allotments, can more naturally survive and thrive.
• Bigger, healthier plants
• Faster growth cycles
• Greater nutritional support
• Natural resilience to damage and pests
From a greater volume of buds to improved resistance to disease, biostimulants can actively be part of your whole garden’s nutrition. Biostimulants are applied in various professional and expert scenarios, including plant nurseries.
In small concentrations, biostimulants become a powerful gardening force. Whether stimulating plant growth from the controlled environment of a greenhouse or an allotment, biostimulants can boost the health, productivity and vitality of not only flora, but vegetables and fruits too.
There’s no limit on the application of biostimulants, from outdoor to indoor use, including, Fruit and Vegetables, Flowers and Shrubs, Lawns and Houseplants
