In the process of growing avocados, the application of seaweed fertilizer can promote the following aspects：
1. Optimize fruit size and shape
Seaweed fertilizer contains rich plant growth regulators, such as cytokinins and auxins. These substances can promote the division and elongation of avocado fruit cells. In the early stage of fruit development, cytokinins can stimulate rapid cell division, increase the number of cells, and provide a better growth foundation for the fruit; auxins play a role in the expansion stage of the fruit, promoting cell elongation, so that the fruit is larger and fuller. Moreover, seaweed fertilizer can provide balanced nutrition, help the fruit maintain a good shape, and reduce the appearance of deformed fruit.
2. Perfect the color of the peel
The seaweed polysaccharides in seaweed fertilizer have a positive effect on the color formation of the fruit skin, it can enhance the vitality of the fruit skin cells, and enable them to better synthesize and accumulate pigments.
3. Increase vitamin content
Seaweed fertilizer can promote the synthesis of vitamins in the fruit. Among them, the content of vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin K may increase due to the use of seaweed fertilizer. Vitamin C has an antioxidant effect and can increase the shelf life and nutritional value of the fruit; vitamin E is an important antioxidant that is beneficial to human health; vitamin K helps maintain bone health.
4. Rich flavor
Seaweed fertilizer helps enhance the unique flavor of avocado. This is because it optimizes the plant's nutrient absorption and metabolism, allowing the fruit to accumulate more flavor substances.
5. Delicate taste
Seaweed fertilizer promotes the good development of fruit cells, making the flesh more firm and delicate. When tasting, this delicate taste can give people a better eating experience, and the texture of the fruit is also softer, easy to process and eat.
6. Reduce respiration rate
The active ingredients in seaweed fertilizer, such as mannitol, can regulate the respiration of avocado. It can reduce the respiration rate of the fruit to a certain extent, reduce the material consumption inside the fruit, and thus extend the shelf life of the fruit.
7. Enhance disease resistance
Seaweed fertilizer can induce avocado plants to produce some disease-resistant substances, such as phytoalexins and chitinase. These substances can enhance the disease resistance of the fruit, make the fruit less susceptible to pathogens during storage, reduce the occurrence of rot, and improve the quality stability of the fruit during transportation and storage.
Mexico, Colombia, Peru, the United States in America, Kenya, South Africa in Africa, and Indonesia in Asia are all countries that grow a lot of avocados. When people grow avocados in these countries, applying some seaweed fertilizer will help the quality and yield of avocados. Dora Kelpreal and Dora Alganeo are good choices. You can choose a seaweed fertilizer that is more suitable for your planting situation.
