“…Another significant observation was the remarkable increase in pigments (chlorophylls and carotenoids). These results are consistent with previous studies on the effect of biostimulants on both monocot and dicot plants [5,41,47,51,[82][83][84].…”

Microalgae have been identified to produce a plethora of bioactive compounds exerting growth stimulating effects on plants. The objective of this study was to investigate the plant-growth-promoting effects of three selected strains of eukaryotic green microalgae. The biostimulatory effects of two Chlorella species (MACC-360 and MACC-38) and a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii strain (cc124) were investigated in a Medicago truncatula model plant grown under controlled greenhouse conditions. The physiological responses of the M. truncatula A17 ecotype to algal biomass addition were characterized thoroughly. The plants were cultivated in pots containing a mixture of vermiculite and soil (1:3) layered with clay at the bottom. The application of live algae cells using the soil drench method significantly increased the plants’ shoot length, leaf size, fresh weight, number of flowers and pigment content. For most of the parameters analyzed, the effects of treatment proved to be specific for the applied algae strains. Overall, Chlorella application led to more robust plants with increased fresh biomass, bigger leaves and more flowers/pods compared to the control and Chlamydomonas-treated samples receiving identical total nutrients.

“…The micro-algal fertilizers play a role in releasing crucial chemicals needed for producing high-quality fruits and preventing leaching and excessive nutrient losses. The plants provided with micro-algal bio-fertilizers lead to enhanced fruit quality attributes due to the abundance of nutrients at the top of the plant when compared with the use of conventional (Dineshkumar et al, 2018;Dineshkumar et al, 2019b;Dineshkumar et al, 2020a;Dineshkumar et al, 2020b). The micro-algal extracts were used as a foliar spray (Supraja et al, 2020) and dry biomass as a soil drench (Dineshkumar et al, 2018) for energizing plant growth.…”

Seaweed and seagrass contain plant growth hormones and mineral nutrients such as proteins, lipids, amino acids, phytohormones, carbohydrates, antimicrobial compounds and osmoprotectants. Hence, the present work was undertaken to assess the potential of marine plant-based bio-fertilizer, prepared as a mixture of six seaweed species and three seagrass species, in comparison with goat manure fertilizer, mixed fertilizer, conventional fertilizer and no-fertilizer (control) applications on the growth and yield of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) under greenhouse conditions. The trial was designed in a split plot with a randomized complete block design. Fifteen biological replications were used from each row for measuring plant height, number of fruits and fruit weight. In this study, treatment of conventional fertilizer, marine plant bio-fertilizer, goat manure, mixed fertilizer and control was applied. This study revealed that tomato plants supplied with conventional fertilizers had the highest plant height and the highest number of fruits, while the plants treated with marine plant bio-fertilizer produced fruits of the highest weight. This is the first study on the utility of marine plant as bio-stimulants for agricultural production in Somalia. The application of eco-friendly and user-friendly marine bio-fertilizers can be suggested to farmers in getting higher yields and better growth of tomato plants.

“…Foliar application of A. dimorphus at a concentration of 3.75 g•mL -1 led to increased plant height and greater number of flowers and branches per plant in tomato plants (Garcia-Gonzalez and Sommerfeld, 2016). Moreover, application of extracts of C. vulgaris at different concentrations to green gram (Vigna mungo L.) led not only higher yields but also improved soil physical and chemical parameters (Dineshkumar et al, 2020a). Foliar application was performed ten days before blooming, after berry sitting and 21 days later.…”
