The Potential Significance of Algae in Agriculture Field By IJISRT

Abstract

As a vast and varied collection of microbes, algae are capable of photosynthesis, which allows them to convert energy from sunlight into chemical compounds. The agricultural sector relies heavily on algae due to their usefulness as biofertilizers and soil stabilizers. The use of algae, especially seaweeds, as fertilizers leads to a decrease in nitrogen and phosphorus discharge compared to that produced by animal dung. The water that eventually makes its way into rivers and seas is therefore of higher quality. As dietary supplements for humans, these creatures are farmed all over the globe. They need very little water to grow, and they may be cultivated on desert and abandoned land, producing food that is both clean and carbon neutral. Iodine is abundant in seaweeds. The dietary intake of the milking cow determines the milk's iodine content. If you want more iodine in your milk, feed your cows seaweed. Incorporating algae into chicken feed speeds up the egg- laying process. This article provided a concise overview of algae and its agricultural applications, covering the essentials for anyone involved in this field.
