A Force of Nature

When we say sustainability is a part of our core at UPL, we mean it. For more than 50 years, we’ve been deeply engaged in researching and developing biostimulant solutions derived from seaweed. Our mission is to support plant health in farmers’ fields while contributing to a healthy environment.

One significant outcome of our research is GoActiv^® Technology, a wholly sustainable innovation. We harvest Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed, renowned for its resilience to cold conditions and daily tidal variations, by hand from the North Atlantic. This seaweed is cold processed within 24 to 48 hours to preserve optimal levels of natural biostimulant activity. This process forms the foundation for targeted biostimulant products that aid farmers in optimizing plant growth throughout multiple life stages – from root development to overall plant resilience.

The result? Innovative and sustainable products that ensure better plant nutrition and physiology, promote robust plant growth, and ultimately enhance crop productivity.  

Growers need proven biosolutions they can trust to address the challenges they face in remaining environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable now and in the future. With GoActiv^® Technology by UPL, we’re helping them achieve that.

“Seaweed has tremendous power to be a pillar of regenerative Ag because of its resiliency. UPL is tapping into that power to advance agriculture naturally.”
