Abstract This study investigated the effects of seaweed extract (SWE) made from brown algae Durvillaea potatorum and Ascophyllum nodosum on plants soil. The application SWE to soil growing tomato showed dual effects. comprehensively improved plant growth (flower clusters, flower number, fruit root length, shoot dry weight, SPAD) increased productivity (yield quality). Similarly, effected biolog...
