A high-quality dehydrated seaweed extract, Thorvin for Plants Foliar is an exceptional nutrient source for plant growth and vigor. Derived from nutrient-rich Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed, simply dilute with water and spray on plants, run through irrigation, or use as a transplant dip. Thorvin for Plants Foliar is excellent for vegetables, fruits, lawns, bedding plants, lawns, ornamental plants, both indoors and out, and pastures as a complex trace mineral and phytonutrient profile for living soils and healthy plants. For commercial applications, apply three times per year.
Application Rates / Frequency
Vegetables, fruits, brambles, small grains, root crops, feed crops, trees – nut, fruit, ornamental Mist all leaf surfaces every 2 weeks. Apply during leaf stage 4-6, repeat in 10-14 days
Gardens, shrubs, flowers Mist all leaf surfaces every 2 weeks
Lawns ¼ tsp/gal for 250-300 sq. ft.; 10 oz/gal for 1 acre
Hay Apply to young re-growth 7-14 days after mowing
Forage crops Apply to pastures before animals are pastured and again at monthly intervals, or more often if stress symptoms appear.
For Intensively Managed Pasture Apply ½ gal. per acre after animals are moved. If rotation is less than 2 weeks, apply every other time animals are moved.
Transplanting & rooting solution ⅓ tsp/gal – Place cuttings in solution until roots develop, then plant. Dip transplants in a solution and plant. Water with solution.
Seed treatment ⅓ tsp/gal – Lightly mist seeds before planting or soak the seeds, or bulbs, for 5-10 seconds.
- Key Tips for Foliar Feeding
Foliar feeding works well with all types of sprayers, including hand trigger sprayer, garden or backpack sprayer, power pack boom or mist blower. Fine mist particles are most effective. Foliar nutrient spraying is simple and effective. These tips are not “musts” but may be of help:
- Add a good clean surfactant or soap to make the water solution wetter and improve leaf absorption.
- Mix concentrate with enough water to spray evenly over entire leaf surface, including undersides if possible.
- Neutralized water, pH 6.5 to 7.5, increases effectiveness. Vinegar, for alkaline water or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), for acid water, can be used in small quantities to neutralize.
- Spray in the early morning after the dew is off the plants and plant metabolism is high. Late evening is also a good time to spray.
- Spray when soil is dry.
- Our research indicates that a high soil phosphate level increases the effectiveness of foliar growth promoters such as liquid kelp.
- Directions
Reconstitute Soluble Kelp Powder by dissolving ten ounces into one gallon of water. Mix well, and then further dilute by adding enough water to cover an acre. For smaller applications, mix ¼ teaspoon of Soluble Kelp Powder with one gallon of water, which covers 250 to 300 square feet. Spray plants or water in every two weeks, or at least three times during the growing season. Tip: For best results, spray as a fine mist covering all foliage, including underside of leaves in early morning or evening.
