Phylgreen 200 is a 100% active, cold processed extract of Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed kelp plant biostimulant.
Ascophyllum nodosum only grows in a few cold water locations in the North Atlantic Ocean. Tradecorp hand cut fresh Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed kelp from rocks at low tide and immediately extract Phylgreen at our shoreline factory using Tradecorp's unique gentle low temperature cold process. This ensures a high level of active components in Phylgreen 200 that are beneficial to crops.
Ascophyllum nodosum is internationally recognized and scientifically proven to be the richest source of plant stimulating components
Ascophyllum nodosum belongs to the family of brown seaweed the Phaeophyceae
— water stress from being submerged in seawater and then drying in the sun when the tide goes out
— saline stress from dissolved salts naturally present in seawater
— physical stress from the ebb and flow of tides compounded by the action of waves
This is one of the most difficult growth environments in the world for plants
Ascophyllum nodosum only grows in the cold waters of the North Atlantic. The main growth areas are the sea shores of Ireland, Norway, Canada, Scotland and Maine.
Habitat range of Ascophyllum nodosum in the North Atlantic Ocean
Ireland has some of the best seaweed harvest and management regulations in the world. This ensures the sustainability and environmental health of the seaweed ecosystem, now and into the future. Tradecorp are licensed to harvest Ascophyllum nodosum by the Irish Government under a quota system that protects areas from over harvest and allows more than three years for the seaweed to regrow after harvest.
The north-west coast of Ireland has some of the purest growth conditions for Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed due to clean ocean currents sweeping in from the North Atlantic Ocean, low industrial activity on the western seaboard of Ireland and low oil tanker traffic. This ensures Phylgreen is free from contaminants.

Tradecorp’s aim is to maintain the natural composition of the Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed extract. This gives Phylgreen with the highest natural plant stimulating activity possible.
Tradecorp have developed a unique gentle extraction process that uses low temperatures and cell rupture (similar to how olive oil is produced) to extract the naturally occurring active components in Ascophyllum nodosum. This is in contrast to most other classical seaweed extraction processes which use heat and chemicals.
Phylgreen Gentle Extraction
Classical extraction uses high temperatures >120oC and aggressive alkaline extraction methods. The classical method denatures and destroys most active components. The principal effect on plants of seaweed products produced by classical extraction is through a fertilizer effect from the addition of extra N, P, K from the cooked seaweed extract. Phylgreen is different.
The gentle low temperature extraction process used to extract Phylgreen preserves the fragile active components. Phylgreen is rich in Alginates, Mannitols, Polysaccharides and Polyphenols that are destroyed by classical extraction. These active components interact with the plant on a cellular, molecular and hormonal-like level stimulating the plant to grow stronger, healthier and more vigorously, rather than simply fertilizing the plant. That’s the Phylgreen difference.
