NITROZYME

Description

Nitrozyme is a concentrated seaweed extract and biostimulant produced by Growth Technology that harnesses the natural plant growth-promoting compounds found in marine algae. Nitrozyme contains a complex blend of cytokinins, auxins, amino acids, vitamins, and trace minerals derived from carefully processed seaweed — biologically active compounds that stimulate root development, accelerate vegetative growth, and enhance nutrient uptake efficiency in ways that conventional nutrient feeding alone cannot achieve.

The Science Behind Seaweed Extracts in Horticulture

Marine algae have evolved to survive in the highly variable, nutrient-competitive environment of ocean surfaces. To do so, they produce complex compounds that regulate growth, stress response, and metabolic efficiency. When these compounds are extracted and applied to land-based plants, many of these same biological activities are triggered. Cytokinins from seaweed promote cell division and leaf development, stimulating the kind of dense, multi-branching vegetative growth that maximises yield potential. Auxins in the seaweed fraction encourage root initiation and development — particularly valuable when used during transplanting or when establishing cuttings in propagation media. The amino acid content provides immediately usable nitrogen in a form that bypasses the metabolic energy cost of converting nitrate, giving plants faster access to the nitrogen building blocks needed for rapid protein and chlorophyll synthesis. Nitrozyme has been part of the Growth Technology range for many years and remains one of their most popular biostimulant products. At The Horticulture Company, we stock it as a go-to recommendation for growers looking to maximise vegetative performance and root development.

How and When to Use Nitrozyme

Nitrozyme is highly concentrated — use at 1–5ml per litre depending on the application. Use it throughout the vegetative stage to maximise the development of the canopy and root system that underpins final yield. It can also be used as a foliar spray at 2ml per litre for direct leaf application, particularly during stress recovery or when establishing cuttings. Compatible with all growing media and nutrient brands.
