Agricultural applications of seaweed extracts : seaweeds for plant care: review and experiments in the Netherlands

Plant biostimulants are products that have a growth-promoting and/or stress-reducing effect on agricultural crops by improving the condition or resistance of the plant. This allows e.g. better absorption of nutrients, reduced susceptibility to abiotic stresses such as drought, and better plant defences against biotic stresses such as fungal or bacterial attack. Extracts from various seaweed species may have such a biostimulating effect. In this project, published literature on research into the biostimulative effects of various seaweed species on crops and various (probable) candidate substanc... Mehr ...
