Seaweed Extract as a Biostimulator

Seaweed extracts (SWEs) are gaining popularity as a sustainable crop production due to their numerous benefits for both crops and the environment. Seaweed extracts are utilized in a variety of ways, including seed treatment, foliar spray, and soil application, to protect plants and promote growth. Seaweed extract is more beneficial than chemical fertilizer because it is biodegradable, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. Seaweed products have been widely used as bio stimulants in crop production which contains growth regulators like cytokinin, auxins, gibberellins, and betaines, as well as macronutrients like Ca, K, P, and micronutrients like Fe, Cu, Zn, B, Mn, Co, and Mo that are essential for plant growth and development. Seaweed extracts are commercially available on the market.
