Vasili's Choice Eco Boost 1L

Eco Boost is a biostimulant made from organic protein which has been broken down into peptides and amino acids. These components belong to a group of biostimulants, referred to as protein hydrolysates, which have received much attention in Europe during the last decade. Based on European research, Eco Boost was further developed in Australia as a new generation hydrolysate.

Some of the advantages of Eco Boost are increased growth yield, increased crop quality, and increased resistance to abiotic stress such as drought, high and low temperature, and soil salinity.

Protein hydrolysates contain a number of amino acids and peptides. Amino acids and small peptides can be absorbed by both the roots and leaves and move into the plant. They can also be used by the soil microbes. In fact, when applied to the soil usually most of the amino acids are used by soil microbes and the remainder is taken up by the plant roots.

The actual amount taken up by the roots varies considerably with plant species/variety and soil conditions. When amino acids are taken up via the soil microbes, soil microbes multiply in number which in turn increases the availability of previously locked up nutrients to the plant.

Eco Boost contains significant amounts of nitrogen and potassium and is particularly suited to organic crop production. Amino acids and peptides are used directly for protein and enzyme synthesis.
Eco Boost can be used on a wide range of plants, including vegetables, agricultural and horticultural crops.
