In Richmond, Australia, the use of ALGAE Microalgae Active Cells is proving to be a game changer for rockmelon (Eastern Star variety) farmers. By enhancing nutrient absorption and plant health, ALGAE treatments are helping farmers achieve uniform, high-quality melons with increased yields.

Six weeks after applying ALGAE, leaf juice tests revealed that melons treated with this organic solution had a higher nutrient absorption capacity compared to untreated plants. The melons showed vigorous growth, resulting in larger, more uniform fruit across each vine by harvest time.

• Rockmelons (Var. Eastern Star) grown in Richmond, New South Wales
• ALGAE applied fortnightly at 5 litres per hectare after the 4-6 true leaf stage
• Basal Fertiliser (12:5:14) applied at 400kg per hectare
• Control group received no ALGAE treatment

• Uniformity: The size and quality of melons were consistent across each plant.
• Fruit Quantity: Treated plants produced more melons per vine compared to the control group.
• Plant Vigour: Stronger growth and enhanced vitality at harvest, leading to healthier and more productive plants.
