KelpVex™ – Cold-Processed Liquid Seaweed Extract

KelpVex™ is a high-quality liquid seaweed extract derived from sustainably harvested North Atlantic kelp and processed to preserve natural plant-active compounds.

Unlike heavily refined or high-heat extracts, KelpVex™ retains naturally occurring phytohormones, polysaccharides, betaines, and trace minerals that support plant stress tolerance, root development, and nutrient efficiency.

Why KelpVex™

KelpVex™ supports:

• Early root development
• Stress resilience (cold, drought, salinity)
• Improved nutrient uptake efficiency
• Enhanced flowering and reproductive performance
• Soil microbial stimulation

Its naturally occurring compounds help regulate plant hormone signaling, improve cellular balance, and support recovery from environmental stress events.

Built for Broadacre & Northern Systems

In northern cropping systems where:

• Cold soils delay metabolic activity
• Short seasons demand early vigor
• Stress periods reduce nutrient efficiency

KelpVex™ is most effective when integrated into:

• In-furrow starter programs
• Foliar stress-mitigation applications
• Tank mixes with micronutrients
• Residue or soil biology systems

Field-scale trials have demonstrated measurable improvements in soil function indicators and return on investment.

Organic & Sustainable

• Sustainably harvested marine biomass
• OMRI-certified organic
• Compatible with regenerative and conventional systems

When integrated into a biology-first fertility system, it improves crop response, stress tolerance, and nutrient efficiency.

Guaranteed Analysis

• Soluble Potash (K₂O) – 14.7%
• Sulfur (S) – 1.0%
• Sargassum muticum – 27.7%
• Ascophyllum nodosum – 27.7%
• Laminaria hyperborea – 27.7%

NTS Tri-Kelp™ is a concentrated, multi-species seaweed biostimulant designed to support crop metabolism and soil biological activity in northern systems.

Unlike single-source kelp products, Tri-Kelp™ combines three distinct species:

• Sargassum muticum – contributes alginic compounds that support moisture interaction and soil aggregation
• Ascophyllum nodosum – widely researched for its plant-active compounds that support stress tolerance and root development
• Laminaria hyperborea – contributes diverse polysaccharides and trace elements that support plant and microbial activity

Why the Multi-Species Blend Matters

Each kelp species contains a different profile of:

• Polysaccharides
• Organic acids
• Natural growth-support compounds
• Trace and ultra-trace minerals

By blending species, Tri-Kelp™ delivers broader biological and metabolic support compared to single-source extracts.

Agronomic Function in Peace Country Systems

In cold, high-residue northern soils, Tri-Kelp™ is typically used to support:

• Early root development
• Plant stress tolerance
• Microbial stimulation
• Nutrient interaction efficiency

The inclusion of 14.7% soluble potash and 1.0% sulfur provides additional nutritional support while the kelp fractions function as biostimulants.

Tri-Kelp™ fits best within a biology-first fertility strategy where improving soil function and plant metabolism enhances overall nutrient response.

EcoTea HDI – In Furrow

EcoTea HDI (High Density Inoculum) is a broad-spectrum soil biology and biostimulant product designed to enhance microbial function in cropping systems.

Unlike single-strain inoculants, EcoTea is built around multiple functional microbial groups. It includes bacteria, fungi, and protozoa selected for their roles in:

• Nutrient cycling
• Residue decomposition
• Root colonization
• Organic nitrogen release
• Soil aggregation
• Rhizosphere interaction

In addition to biological diversity, EcoTea HDI includes a complementary biostimulant package designed to support microbial establishment and early-season plant response.

Ongoing Soil Health Research – Discovery Farm, Langham, SK

EcoTea programs are currently being evaluated through a multi-year soil health testing project at Discovery Farm in Langham, Saskatchewan. The project compares regenerative biological systems with conventional fertility approaches.

After three growing seasons (2022–2024), regenerative plots incorporating EcoTea applications (in-furrow and residue programs) showed measurable improvements compared to conventional fertilizer-only plots:

• Water infiltration: Improved 40–70% on regenerative plots; declined approximately 5% on conventional plots
• Soil structure (reduced compaction and improved macro-aggregation): 30–40% improvement
• Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC): Increased 10–40% in regenerative plots; declined 3–5% in conventional plots

These improvements were observed alongside a 25–50% reduction in applied fertilizer rates within regenerative program plots.

Results continue to be monitored as part of the ongoing study.

Application Guidelines

EcoTea HDI – In-Furrow Application

• Recommended rate: 10 L/ac
• Apply in-furrow at planting
• Compatible with most starter fertilizer systems
• Seed-safe when used according to label directions

EcoTea is typically integrated into a broader biology-first fertility strategy where improving soil function is the primary objective.

SeaPack™

2-1-0.3 Cold-Processed Seafood Hydrolysate

SeaPack™ is a cold-processed seafood hydrolysate made from salmon, crab, and shrimp, designed to support both soil biology and plant resilience in regenerative systems.

Unlike heat-treated fish emulsions, SeaPack™ preserves natural oils, amino acids, enzymes, and peptides that feed soil microbes and improve nutrient cycling. The inclusion of crab and shrimp introduces chitin — a natural compound known to stimulate plant immune response and support resistance to fungal and bacterial pressure.

What It Delivers

• 2-1-0.3 NPK for gentle nutritional support
• Chitin to stimulate plant defense pathways
• Bioavailable amino acids to fuel microbial activity
• 3% Fulvic Acid to enhance nutrient uptake
• Calcium & Sulfur to support structural strength and metabolic function

Finely processed to pass a 150-mesh screen, SeaPack™ is suitable for foliar, in-furrow, drip, and fertigation systems.

Where It Fits

• Biology-first fertility programs
• Early-season root establishment
• Stress recovery applications
• Residue digestion systems
• Carbon-supported nutrient strategies

Application Guidelines

Foliar: 4–8 L/ac at key growth stages
At Planting (Broadacre): 4–12 L/ac
Soil Application: Dilute 1:15 with water

Agitate before use. Natural oil separation is normal.
SeaPack™ feeds the soil and fortifies the plant.
It supports microbial expansion, strengthens plant defense, and improves nutrient efficiency.
