MARITIME is produced using a proprietary biological process to extract a combination of primary and secondary metabolites from Ascophyllum nodosum, a kelp source. These metabolites serve as a food source for soil microbes and help increase nutrient and plant functioning. MARITIME also contains an active, diverse microbial community that functions in the soil profile to drive more efficient microbial activity. Overall, the result is a positive effect on plant health, including improved tolerance to abiotic stress.
