Pollen Boost
Pollen Boost improves pollination rate, fruit-set and new-shoot development. Propolis and seaweed with balanced N-P-K and micronutrients support flowering and the critical pollination window for better fruit numbers.

Pre-harvest and re-entry intervals are restrictions carried on pesticide labels. These products are not pesticides, so neither applies. For comparison, four hours is the shortest re-entry interval a registered pesticide can carry.
Biological bloom enhancer from Vegalab Crop Science, powered by Propolis · seaweed · N, P, K + micronutrients. Pollen Boost targets Pollination rate, fruit-set, new-shoot development.

Supplies the macro- and micronutrients needed at pollination. Propolis attracts bees to the flowers while brown-seaweed bio-stimulants encourage new flower buds and shoots - maximizing fruit production and reducing deformation.

Why is the pollination window so critical?
The number of flowers that successfully set fruit largely determines yield, and that is decided in a narrow window around bloom. Poor pollination or weak fruit-set - from stress, weather or nutrition - can cap yield no matter how well the rest of the season goes. Supporting the crop through flowering protects that potential.
How does Pollen Boost improve fruit-set?
Pollen Boost (3-3-5) combines propolis and seaweed extract with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients (Mg, S). The blend supports flower quality and the energy demands of pollination and early fruit-set, helping more flowers convert to fruit while also supporting new-shoot development through the reproductive phase.

Treat just before and into bloom.
Always read and follow the applicable product label.
Apply as a foliar spray ahead of and during flowering - timing it to the pollination window is what drives the fruit-set response. Treating just before and into bloom supports flower quality and the early set, when the crop is most sensitive to nutritional shortfalls.
Which crops is it for?
Pollen Boost has been tested on apples, stone fruit, tomatoes, vines and almonds - crops where fruit-set and pollination directly govern yield, and where a poor set window is costly. It is especially relevant for tree fruit and nuts that flower in variable early-season conditions.
What roles do propolis and seaweed play?
Propolis and seaweed extract bring bioactive compounds that support flower vitality and the plant's stress response during the demanding bloom period, alongside the balanced N-P-K and micronutrients that fuel pollination and set. Together they help the crop hold and develop more of the flowers it produces.
