About Sagarika Gold
Sagarika Gold (Seaweed Extract Concentrate 28% w/w) by IFFCO is an organic bio-stimulant made from a globally patented concentrate of red and brown marine algae, further fortified with Humic and Fulvic acid. It effectively boosts nutrient uptake and nutrient use efficiency in crops such as cotton, chillies, and paddy, using naturally occurring plant growth regulators (auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins), amino acids, and bio-potash. By stimulating the plant's metabolic function as a plant biostimulant for crop growth and productivity, Sagarika Gold helps increase both crop yield and crop quality.

Mode of Action: The marine algae concentrate supplies naturally occurring auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins along with amino acids and micronutrients, while bio-potash and quaternary ammonium compounds (glycine betaine, choline) support osmotic and stress regulation. Added Humic and Fulvic acid further enhance overall bio-stimulant activity, together stimulating the plant's metabolic function to improve nutrient uptake and use efficiency.
Time of Application: Plant Establishment/Tilling Stage (1st Spray), Pre-Flowering Stage (2nd Spray), Post-Flowering Stage (3rd Spray)
