It can survive the extremely adverse living environment with its strong growing ability, therefore a higher level of endogenous active substances can be extracted. Moreover, Dyacare UK could retain to maximum the natural substances inside Arcophyllum nodosum Le Jolis via a physical method, making the product to be slightly acid, thus largely preventing sedimentation of Ca and Mg or blocking of spraying devices when being applied together with other fertilizers.
