Seaweed Utilizing as a Biostimulants in Agriculture Sector: A Review

Abstract

The marine environment depends on seaweed, which is abundant in the water and plays an essential and crucial function in it. Many researchers have been studying seaweed for more than seven decades. According to our needs, research has been done separately in different aspects. There are several chemical fertilisers commercially available today, but they significantly reduce or harm soil fertility, growth, and yield. The amount of fertiliser needed by the plant or crop will determine the fertility of the soil. When compared to terrestrial foods, the seaweed fertilisers had a lot of nutrients including nitrogen, phosphate, potassium, and important vitamins. They also helped to improve biochemical components like proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, enzymes, and plant growth hormones and trace elements. Finally, this paper would be helpful to a common man and farmers to know and aware about such a great living resource which is present in and around us and their agricultural products are beneficial to our society.
