Ólavur Gregerson announces good news on his personal LinkedIn profile:

- I’m pleased to share that MakroBoost™, our seaweed-based biostimulant, is now being applied in California agriculture—bringing the resilience of the ocean into the fields.

By harnessing the unique properties of Macrocystis pyrifera (giant kelp), MakroBoost™ helps build healthier soils, stronger crops, and a more sustainable future for agriculture.

Ólavur Gregersen is referring to Ocean Rainforest´s MakroBoost™ a seaweed-based biostimulant for organic and resilient farming.

Ocean Rainforest is proud to introduce MakroBoost™, a plant biostimulant derived from sustainably harvested Macrocystis pyrifera (Giant kelp) along the coasts of Southern and Baja California.

MakroBoost™ supports natural plant processes such as nutrient uptake, soil condition, and plant vigor, providing growers with a science-backed tool for organic and regenerative agriculture.

MakroBoost™ is certified & compliant

OMRI Listed® – approved for use in certified organic farming

CDFA Registered – recognized as an Organic Input Material by the California Department of Food and Agriculture

These certifications ensure that MakroBoost™ meets strict organic standards, offering growers a reliable and compliant option for supporting plant health.

What Makes MakroBoost™ Different

- Locally sourced ingredient: Giant kelp harvested sustainably from California waters

- Preservation of bioactive compounds: Maintaining naturally occurring polysaccharides, amino acids, and minerals

- Science-backed formulation: Designed to enhance natural plant processes rather than act as a direct growth regulator or chemical input

By leveraging the unique properties of Macrocystis pyrifera, MakroBoost™ may help support plant resilience under abiotic stresses, optimize nutrient use efficiency, and improve soil condition.

A Sustainable Step Forward

MakroBoost™ combines sustainability, organic compliance, and science-backed performance—helping growers move toward regenerative agriculture and healthier, more resilient crops while reducing dependency on synthetic inputs.
