This study evaluated the efficacy of Expresseed’s algae-derived biostimulant, named “Control”, in promoting increased, favorable branching in ornamental horticultural crops in a greenhouse setting. Four treatments were observed—weekly and bi-weekly applications of “Control”, a competitor’s product (B9+ Florel), and a untreated group—were applied to three crop species. Results showed no significant effect on branching structure across the treatments, suggesting the biostimulant did not outperform the competitor or the untreated in this context.
