Until now, soil and
hydroponics growers have normally used fertilizers
and nutrient solutions based on only three major
elements: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK).
More recently, the agricultural and scientific
community has begun to recognize the importance of
micronutrients so that progressive growers utilize
up to 16 elements (in red
letters) in their plant nutrient
applications.

However, pure unadulterated
seawater contains 90+ elements in an inorganic
crystalloid solution ready to be absorbed by a
plant’s roots. And, even though science has yet to
prove essential (to good health) all the elements of
the periodic table, sophisticated chemical analysis
is slowly beginning to uncover their roles and
functions in plant growth, one by one. It is only a
matter of time before all the elements will be
considered essential or at least beneficial by plant
physiologists.

For instance, micronutrients
(required by plants in trace amounts) can be
described as the catalyst that activate enzymes, and
play a specific role in plant growth, development
and yield. Dr. Murray found that the relative ratios
between the elements remain the same at different
levels of concentration – and it is this proper
balance in OceanSolution™ that facilitates the
optimal nutrient uptake by plants.
