14-16% Seaweed Extract Small Flakes
The Workhorse Grade in a Fast-Dissolving Flake
Every lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis stating tested alginic acid, organic matter, K₂O and pH.
Product Overview
Seaweed extract is a water-soluble organic biostimulant produced from marine brown algae. JINGFENG’s Ascophyllum nodosum extract is obtained by physical crushing followed by enzymatic or biochemical hydrolysis, so the algae’s own alginic acid, seaweed polysaccharides, mannitol, betaine, amino acids and natural plant growth regulators (auxins, cytokinins and gibberellins) are preserved intact. It is used as a root and foliar biostimulant, a soil conditioner and a raw material for organic fertilizer blends.
14-16% Seaweed Extract Small Flakes is the mid-load workhorse grade of our seaweed extract range. A ≥ 14% alginic acid guarantee with ≥ 30% seaweed polysaccharides — the general-purpose grade for drip, foliar and spreading programmes across a wide crop list.
It is supplied as a small, quick-dissolving flake and is 100% water soluble. The material is produced from Ascophyllum nodosum by physical crushing and hydrolysis, so the seaweed’s own alginic acid, polysaccharides, mannitol, betaine, amino acids and growth regulators reach the field intact. Use it in drip and flushing programmes, in foliar tanks, spread on the soil, or as a raw material in organic fertilizer blends.
Key Benefits
≥ 14% alginic acid
A guaranteed alginic acid floor of ≥ 14% — the seaweed fraction buyers check first when comparing grades.
Dissolves fully
100% water soluble — the small flake wets out fast and leaves no residue in tank or line.
A practical field form
Lower dust than powder, so it is easier to weigh, scoop and spread without losses.
Natural growth regulators
Auxins, cytokinins and gibberellins from the seaweed itself, with mannitol and betaine for stress tolerance.
Feeds soil biology
Polysaccharides and amino acids supply ready carbon to the soil microbiome and chelate trace elements.

Form: black flakes, small and free-flowing. Lower dust than powder and easy to weigh out by the bag.
In water: 100% water soluble. The small flake wets out quickly and dissolves fully, so there is nothing to filter out before it reaches the line.
Handling: low dust, easy to scoop and blend. Reseal opened bags to keep moisture out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which seaweed extract grade should I choose?
Grades are sold on alginic acid content. This one is 14 – 16% alginic acid, the mid-load workhorse grade. A higher alginic grade lets you use less product per hectare, while a lower grade suits bulk blending where cost per tonne leads. Tell us your crop and route and we will recommend the grade.
How do I dilute it?
Dilute 1:1500 – 1:2000 with clean water for foliar spraying, drip or water-flushing irrigation. With compound fertilizer use 1:100; added to a pesticide or foliar fertilizer tank use 1:5000. Always add the product to water, not water to the product.
Is it 100% water soluble?
Yes — 100% water soluble with no residue. It dissolves under light agitation and leaves nothing to filter, so it is safe for drip lines, micro-sprinklers and spray tanks.
Is it suitable for organic farming?
It is a seaweed-derived organic input with no added synthetic plant hormones. Ask us for the input list and technical data sheet you need for your certification body.
Do you provide a COA per batch?
Yes. Every shipment travels with a Certificate of Analysis stating the tested alginic acid, organic matter, seaweed polysaccharides, K₂O and pH.
What is the minimum order and lead time?
Standard stock item. MOQ one pallet; 7–15 days ex-works. Private-label printing and custom blends are available on request.
