Biozyme Bio-Stimulant: Seaweed Extract Uses & Dose

Biozyme is an advanced biological plant growth enhancer and bio-stimulant formulated from marine brown seaweed extract (Ascophyllum nodosum), manufactured by Biostadt India Limited. Available in both granular and concentrated liquid formulations, it supplies natural plant growth substances (auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins), essential amino acids, betaines, and chelated trace minerals. Regulated under the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO), Biozyme stimulates root initiation, enhances flower retention, and boosts abiotic stress tolerance.

Bioactive composition and physiological benefits

Biozyme works at the cellular level to stimulate plant metabolic and enzymatic pathways.

  • Natural Phytohormones: Rich in marine cytokinins and auxins that promote active cell division and lateral root branching.
  • Enhanced Nutrient Mobilization: Natural chelators bind soil micronutrients into bio-available forms, enhancing plant uptake.
  • Chlorophyll Enhancement: Stimulates chlorophyll biosynthesis, resulting in darker green leaves and higher photosynthetic efficiency.
  • Abiotic Stress Resilience: Supplies natural osmolytes (betaines and mannitol) that protect crops from moisture stress, heatwaves, and cold spells.

Available formulations and application methods

Tailored formulations ensure versatile application from soil basal dressing to foliar sprays.

  • Biozyme Granules: Slow-release formulation applied to soil as a basal dressing or mixed with first chemical fertilizer top-dressing.
  • Biozyme Liquid: Concentrated formulation designed for foliar spraying and drip fertigation systems.
  • First Foliar Spray: Applied during active vegetative or tillering stage to establish a strong plant framework.
  • Second Foliar Spray: Applied at pre-flowering or blossom initiation to prevent premature flower drop and maximize fruit set.
  • Third Foliar Spray: Applied during fruit or grain enlargement to improve size, test weight, and marketable grade.

Target crops and tank-mix compatibility

Approved for diverse agricultural, commercial, and horticultural crops under FCO standards.

  • Field Crops: Rice, wheat, cotton, soybean, maize, pulses, groundnut, and sugarcane.
  • Horticultural Crops: Tomato, chilli, onion, potato, brinjal, pomegranate, grapes, banana, and mango.
  • Tank-Mix Compatibility: Compatible with most neutral agrochemicals and water-soluble fertilizers in tank mixes.
  • Store containers in a cool, shaded environment away from direct sunlight to preserve active biological enzymes.
