How microalgae soil additives reduce sodium levels while improving rooting, yield and health

Microalgae-based soil additives are an excellent way to improve plant health and yields. Microalgae, itself, is an invaluable resource of auxins, essential fatty acids and phospholipids that are essential for root development. The natural resource also increases soil friability, which allows for better root penetration. Microalgae add lipids to the soil that increase the number of gelatinous substances present to protect plant roots and allow them to penetrate.

Read on to learn more about how microalgae soil additives can benefit your plant health and yield. 

Reduction of sodium with microalgae soil additives

Microalgae soil additives contain enzymes that can help reduce soil sodium and sodic stress in plants by flushing them away from the root zone. These enzymes, as well as reactive ions, that are present in microalgae work to solubilise sodium ions that actively leach sodium out of the plant’s root zone. 

By increasing solubilized sodium in water in the soil and helping it move from the root zone, sodium is less available to be transported into the plant root. This results in healthier plants. The microalgae also increase the number of microorganisms present in soils, by acting as a stimulant for soil actinomycetes, pseudomonads and lactic acid bacteria. 

Benefits of microalgae soil additives

• Improves enzymatic activity
• Naturally eliminates filamentous algae
• Increases soil aggregation
• Facilitates water infiltration
• Helps mitigate soil sodium
• Increases bioavailability of plant nutrients
• Clean irrigation pipes
• Increases organic matter digestion

Isogreen®

At BioFlora, we know how to make the most of mother nature’s resources to improve plant health. Isogreen® is a one-of-a-kind matrix of carbon complexes, organic acids, freshwater microalgae and beneficial bacteria that has been designed to help restore soil biological health, improve plant growth and resist plant pathogens. Isogreen® contains microalgae that change the ecology of soil and water, reduce sodium in plant tissues and improve rooting, yield and quality.

Isogreen® has several advantages, including the ability to stimulate existing microbial communities and increase microbial diversity. Increasing the diversity of microorganisms in the soil improves its ability to support stronger root development, hold and release nutrients for plant growth and naturally out-compete pathogens. Isogreen® also improves sugar translocation, increases cell density in fruits and thickens cell walls, extending the harvest window and shelf-life.

Cellular Infusion® Technology

Isogreen® has been enhanced with our patented Cellular Infusion® Technology. Cellular Infusion® Technology, driven by nanomolecular and ionic minerals, improves nutrient absorption, bioavailability and translocation in plants at the cellular level.

The team of experts at BioFlora® will be happy to help you apply our range of proven products to your specific situation for maximum benefit. Our goal is to provide all Aussie growers with sustainable and organic solutions that transform both soil and plant health. You can contact us at  or by calling 0413 839 878.
