Seaweed applications: the science and the marketing

Recorded as part of our Continue to Learn Extra webinar series, this podcast provides an overview on the use of seaweed products for turf, why they are used, and how they are marketed.

The presentation will link to some published science and research on the topic and highlight some current trial work from ICL.
