Abstract

Seaweed or Marine macro-algae are often regarded as an underutilized bioresource, many have been used as a source of food, raw materials for industry, and therapeutic and botanical purposes for decades. Moreover, several plant growth-stimulating compounds found in seaweed and products derived from seaweed have made them popular supplements to crop production systems. This article provides an in-depth analysis of how different seaweed species and seaweed products affect the plant growth and development of fruit crops. They also increase plants' biochemical components and can alleviate abiotic stress.
