Influenţa algelor verzi asupra germinării seminţelor unor plante de cultură [Articol]

Abstract

The study investigates the effects of the biostimulator “ALGE EN-1”, based on green algae, on the germination and initial development of sunflower and corn plants. The application of the product led to an increase in the germination faculty by 4.91% in sunflower and 1.67% in corn. A 14.28% elongation of the roots was observed in sunflower, while in corn, the root length decreased by 7.58%. The height of the seedlings was significantly stimulated, registering increases of over 16% in both crops. The results support the efficiency of the prepa- ration “ALGE EN-1” in promoting the early phases of development, with potential application in sustainable agriculture.
