Tóm tắt

Tảo biển hay macroalgae biển rất phong phú với nhiều hợp chất đa dạng như lipit, protein, carbohydrate, hormon thực vật, amino acid, osmoprotectant, hợp chất kháng khuẩn và khoáng chất. Tiềm năng của chúng trong ứng dụng nông nghiệp đã được sử dụng từ thời cổ đại, nhưng sự gia tăng nhu cầu về nông nghiệp hữu cơ và thực phẩm hữu cơ đã thúc đẩy việc áp dụng nhiều phương pháp điều trị hữu cơ như chiết xuất tảo biển trong nông nghiệp. Lợi ích của việc ứng dụng tảo biển trong lĩnh vực nông nghiệp là rất phong phú và đa dạng, bao gồm kích thích sự nảy mầm của hạt, cải thiện sức khỏe và sự phát triển của cây trồng, đặc biệt là sự kéo dài của thân và rễ, nâng cao khả năng hấp thụ nước và dinh dưỡng, khả năng chống ẩm và mặn, kiểm soát sinh học và khả năng kháng lại các sinh vật gây bệnh thực vật, khôi phục chất ô nhiễm của đất bị ô nhiễm và tăng cường phân bón. Trong bài đánh giá này, tiến bộ khoa học trong lĩnh vực này đã được tập hợp và đánh giá một cách nghiêm túc nhằm tạo cơ sở cho các nghiên cứu và ứng dụng tiếp theo.
