Objective: To study the effect of biostimulants on yield and its components in Azufrado Higuera beans northern Sinaloa. Design/Methodology/Approach: Randomized complete block design with three repetitions, a common bean variety, five treatments (four one control). Assessed variables: plant height, yield, components. Results: The seaweed-based (Ascophyllum nodosum Macrocystis pyrifera) Fia Kelp®...

The review paper presents the use of algal extracts as safe and solvent-free components of plant growth biostimulants, dietary feed additives and cosmetics. Innovative technology that uses extracts obtained by supercritical CO₂ extraction, as a method of isolation of biologically active compounds from algal biomass, is presented. An important part of the complete technology is the final formula...

The aim of the field trials was to determine the influence of supercritical algal extracts on the growth and development of winter wheat (variety Akteur). As a raw material for the supercritical fluid extraction, the biomass of microalga Spirulina plantensis, brown seaweed - Ascophyllum nodosum and Baltic green macroalgae was used. Forthial and Asahi SL constituted the reference products. It wa...

We explored two methods for obtaining aqueous extracts: boiling and soaking of Baltic seaweeds (EB and ES, resp.). Algal extracts were characterized in terms of polyphenols, micro- and macroelements, lipids content, and antibacterial properties. The utilitarian properties were examined in the germination tests on Lepidium sativum for three extract dilutions (0.5, 2.5, and 10%). It was found tha...

The use of biostimulants in modern agriculture has rapidly expanded recent years, owing to their beneficial effects on crop yield and product quality, which have come under the scope intensive research. Accordingly, present study we appraised efficacy two plant-derived biostimulants, legume-derived protein hydrolysates Trainer® (PH), tropical plant extract Auxym® (TPE) lettuce cultivars (green ...

Reducing the use of fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides in order to limit environmental pollution health risks for agricultural operators consumers is one goals European regulations. In fact, Commission developed a package measures (the Green Deal) promote sustainable natural resources strengthen resilience agri-food systems. As consequence, new plant protection products, such as biostimul...
