“…According to this study, the improvement in growth parameters in algal treated garlic plants might be attributable to the presence of organic acids, hormones, amino acids, and minerals in algal extracts, that can affect and improve agricultural crop production (Iqbal et al, 2021). It was shown that auxin in algal extracts plays fundamental functions in cell proliferation and cell expansion, Several elements (both micro & macro) including Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Zn N, P, K and Ca, are abundant in S. platensis, according to our investigation.…”

Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is ayurvedic herb that has been extensively used as medication and as the taste enhancer of food. The effects of foliar spraying of garlic at various concentrations (0.5, 1, 25 and 50%) derived from liquid extracts of Spirulina platensis, Ulva fasciata, and Pterocladia capillacea on growth, pigment, protein content, macronutrients, micronutrients, and phytochemical components were examined. The findings showed that spraying Allium sativum leaves with 25% Spirulina increased their protein content, chlorophyll content, and leaf length by 18, 20, and 49%, respectively. In addition, the total N and S increased by 1.2 and 5 folds, respectively. The examination of hexane and methanol extracts from control and treated plants with 25% Spirulina extract using GC-MS revealed a significant rise in the percentage of concentration of Diallyl disulphide, Trisulfide, methyl 2-propenyl, 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol and Phytol by 1.3, 1.9, 1.5, 2.7 in case of 25% Spirulina extract relative to the control plants. Spirulina platensis extract can be employed to improve the growth, minerals, organosulfur compounds of garlic.

The sustainable development of modern agriculture faces many obstacles, including biodiversity loss and environment and soil degradation. Algae possess the ability to fix carbon through photosynthesis and produce enormous biomass. The potential use of algae in bio-fertilizers, nutrient recycling, crop stimulants against abiotic stresses, and bio-control agent against plant pests provides a way forward for sustainable agriculture development. This chapter summarizes the use of algae in agriculture ranging from bio-fertilizers to crop stimulants. It is expected that the integration of algae in inputs will transform modern agriculture into a more environmentally benign and resource-efficient system, hence making it more productive.
