Biovita Fertilizer: Seaweed Bio-Stimulant Uses & Dose

Biovita is a natural seaweed-based bio-stimulant formulated from marine brown algae (Ascophyllum nodosum), manufactured by PI Industries for sustainable crop health. It delivers naturally occurring plant hormones (cytokinins, auxins, gibberellins), betaines, amino acids, and over 60 chelated micro-nutrients. Approved under the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO) regulations, Biovita enhances root architecture, stimulates flowering, and improves crop resilience against abiotic stresses.

Bioactive composition and physiological benefits

Biovita is extracted through cold-water processing that preserves fragile marine organic bioactive compounds.

  • Natural Phytohormones: Supplies balanced auxins and cytokinins that accelerate root branching and cell division.
  • Stress Alleviation: Contains betaines and mannitol that help crops withstand drought, salinity, and temperature extremes.
  • Nutrient Mobilization: Natural chelating agents enhance root uptake of soil phosphorus, zinc, and iron.
  • Improves Chlorophyll Content: Enhances photosynthetic rate, resulting in greener leaves and better carbohydrate synthesis.

Available formulations and application methods

Biovita is available in both granular and liquid formulations tailored for soil and foliar applications.

  • Biovita Granules: Slow-release organic granules applied as a soil basal dressing or broadcast during first top-dressing.
  • Biovita Liquid: Concentrated soluble extract designed for foliar spraying and drip fertigation systems.
  • First Foliar Spray: Applied at the active vegetative or tillering stage to stimulate strong frame establishment.
  • Second Foliar Spray: Applied at pre-flowering or bud development stage to maximize blossom retention and fruit setting.

Crop suitability and FCO compliance

Biovita is certified and registered under the revised FCO bio-stimulant framework.

  • Field Crops: Paddy, wheat, cotton, soybean, groundnut, and sugarcane.
  • Horticultural Crops: Tomato, chilli, onion, potato, pomegranate, grapes, and banana.
  • Compatible with most neutral insecticides, fungicides, and water-soluble fertilizers in tank mixes.
  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve biological enzyme activity.

Common questions

What is the source material used in Biovita?

Biovita is manufactured from Ascophyllum nodosum, a nutrient-rich marine brown algae harvested from cold North Atlantic waters.

Is Biovita a chemical pesticide or a bio-stimulant?

Biovita is a bio-stimulant and plant metabolic enhancer, not a chemical pesticide; it regulates growth and nutrient uptake rather than killing pests.

Can Biovita liquid be mixed with foliar insecticides?

Yes, Biovita liquid is compatible with most neutral insecticides and fungicides, but always conduct a jar test before tank mixing.
