The possibilities of the application of algal biomass in the agriculture
Journal Title: CHEMIK nauka-technika-rynek - Year 2012, Vol 66, Issue 11
Abstract
The present study describes algae (micro- and macroalgae) as a new raw material for agriculture, whose potential has not been fully exploited yet. Algae are a challenge for sustainable agriculture. They are known for their rich content of nutrients, therefore are used as dietary supplements. In modern agriculture, can be used in animal nutrition as carriers of trace elements. The paper presents examples of the use of algae in the nutrition of different animal species. The second direction of the use of algae in agriculture is their use as fertilizers and plant protection chemicals. The paper discusses the impact of algae on the soil and plants (acting as physioactivators and biostimulants). In addition, the production of algal extracts, which may constitute foliar fertilizer for plants or fertilizer applied to the soil seems to be very interesting.
