Build stronger, more resilient kiwifruit vines from the ground up. AgriSea's seaweed-based nutrition supports canopy development, fruit set and orchard resilience through the seasonal demands of New Zealand kiwifruit production.
Cold-brewed seaweed nutrition engineered for the seasonal demands of New Zealand kiwifruit production, from spring canopy development through to harvest recovery.
AgriSea's seaweed-based biostimulant products have been helping New Zealand and Pacific horticultural growers improve crop performance and resilience for over 25 years. Made from sustainably harvested New Zealand brown kelp (Ecklonia radiata) and cold-brewed using our proprietary process, AgriSea preserves the natural spectrum of bioactive compounds that support vine performance, root function and crop consistency.
Kiwifruit production rewards precision. Strong spring canopy growth, a balanced flowering period, reliable fruit set, sustained summer sizing and effective post-harvest recovery all depend on keeping the vine physiologically steady through periods of high demand. AgriSea helps provide that foundation by supporting root-zone biology, nutrient availability and plant resilience when timing matters most.
50% reduction in rots, 32% reduction in soft fruit and a 95% increase in firm fruit during post cool-store shelf life
Reduced cane blowouts by 44% and encouraged 40% more new season canes adjacent to the main leader
Not all seaweed extracts are equal. Many commercial products are produced using alkaline or heat-based hydrolysis. These methods are efficient for volume, but they can compromise the biological integrity of sensitive compounds that matter in crop response.
AgriSea's cold-brewing process uses no harsh heat, chemicals, freezing or drying. Instead, Ecklonia radiata is processed at ambient temperature through mechanical blending, hydration and gentle pressing so that naturally occurring compounds remain in a functional state.
Practical guidance for using AgriSea with kiwifruit vines at different stages.
Follow these recommended application rates and timing for optimal kiwifruit orchard performance.
Note: These are general guidelines. Actual application rates may vary based on kiwifruit variety, vine age, regional climate, soil type, and specific orchard challenges. For specific advice tailored to your orchard, consult with an AgriSea field consultant.
AgriSea products can be applied in multiple ways to suit your orchard management system.

AgriSea's cold-brewed Ecklonia radiata products support root function, canopy performance, flowering, fruit development and post-harvest recovery. They complement a sound orchard nutrition programme and help vines operate more efficiently during key growth stages.
Kiwifruit performance depends heavily on timing, root activity and stress resilience. Preserving seaweed bioactive compounds in their natural state delivers a broader biological signal than heavily processed extracts.
Yes. AgriSea is designed to complement, not replace, a balanced orchard fertilisation programme.
No. AgriSea is a biostimulant programme and should be used alongside standard pest, disease and nutrient management strategies.
Key timing windows include early spring activation, flowering to fruit set, summer crop carry and post-harvest recovery.
Yes. AgriSea orchard products are BioGro Organic certified and Non-GMO certified.
