Do Seedlings Need Fertiliser?
While seedlings rely on nutrients stored within the seed to grow, fertilisers can be extremely beneficial for seed germination and development, especially in nutrient-poor soils.
Fertilisers contain growth-promoting compounds such as hormones, vitamins, and amino acids, which stimulate seedling growth and vigor. This leads to faster seed germination and emergence, and improved overall plant performance. Fertilisers also enhance the seedling's ability to withstand environmental stressors such as drought, heat, and disease. By providing a nutrient-rich environment, fertilisers help seedlings establish robust root systems, regulate water uptake, and cope with adverse conditions like heat and drought, increasing their resilience and survival rates.

What are the Benefits of Organic Fertiliser for Seedlings?
Organic Fertiliser delivers key benefits for seedlings that assist in their early development:
- Vigor: Organic seedling fertiliser contains cytokinins and auxins, natural growth hormones that promote cell division and elongation, enhancing seedling growth and vigor.
- Enhanced Nutrient Uptake: Micronutrients in seaweed extracts, like potassium, magnesium, and other trace elements, improve nutrient uptake and utilization by seedlings, supporting healthy development.
- Resistance to Stress: Organic Fertiliser contains antioxidants and osmoprotectants that help seedlings cope with environmental stressors, including drought, salinity, and variations in temperature.
- Resistance to Disease: Organic extracts stimulate the production of plant defense compounds, like phytoalexins. They also enhance the activity of beneficial microbes in the soil, which boost the resistance of seedlings to pathogens and disease.

What Nutrients Do Seed Treatments Need?
When to start fertilizing seedlings largely depends on local conditions, but organic fertiliser will provide the essential nutrients, like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and others which may be lacking in the soil. These nutrients are crucial for things like cell division, photosynthesis, and root development.
Seed treatments should also include natural vitamins and plant growth regulators (e.g., cytokinins, auxins), which stimulate seed germination, promote root and shoot growth, and enhance overall plant vigor.
Beneficial microorganisms and other soil bacteria that support plant growth will enhance nutrient uptake, improve soil structure, and protect seedlings from pathogens. In addition, seaweed extracts, humic substances, and amino acids improve their growth rate, resilience, and nutrient absorption efficiency.
