Investigation of green and brown macroalgae’s extract on some physiological parameters of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.)

Abstract One way to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers without harming plant nutrition and increase the absorption of nutrients in crops is to use biostimulants. Seaweed extracts is one of the plant biostimulants that is used in agricultural systems because of their potential for improving nutrient use efficiency, resistance to stressors, and product quality. In this study, the effects of ...
