Valagro's MC Extra is a concentrated, 100% water-soluble seaweed extract made from Ascophyllum nodosum. It contains active phyto-ingredients such as betaines, mannitol, amino acids, and proteins that promote crop development, improve vegetative-reproductive balance, and increase plant resistance in the face of stressors such as drought, salinity, and high temperatures.
This biostimulant supports overall plant physiology and is perfect for promoting stem, leaf, and fruit development. Its ability to improve cell turgor, nutrient absorption, and chlorophyll content makes it suited for foliar treatment on a wide variety of crops.
Technical Content:
Composition:
Betaines
Mannitol
Amino Acids & Proteins
Micronutrients (K, Fe, Zn, etc.)
Extracted from Ascophyllum nodosum
Mode of Action:
MC Extra influences plant metabolic and physiological activities by delivering bioactive compounds that function as chemical messengers. These help regulate cell division, growth, and development, improve water retention, and increase plant tolerance to abiotic stress.
