Overview Academic research into the mechanism of action behind EnSoil Algae.

The Findings

  • Rhizophagy: Live algae facilitate the colonization of plant roots by bacteria, triggering the growth of root hairs.

  • Growth Promotion: EnSoil Algae significantly outperformed commercial broths and Chlorella Vulgaris.

  • Mechanism: EnSoil Algae aids in plant branching, root elongation, and supports endophytic bacteria through secondary metabolites.

Key Takeaway EnSoil Algae provides a biological "delivery system" that improves the fundamental growth habits of Clover, Creeping Bluegrass, Soybeans, and Tomato.
