Evaluation of Nutrient Composition and Biostimulant Properties of Seaweeds for Improving Soil Microbial Population and Tomato Plant Growth

The nutrient composition and biostimulant properties of seaweed were determined as solid biofertilizer for cultivating tomato seedlings in a greenhouse. Seaweeds (Sargassum wightii, Sargassum longifolium, Laminaria digitata, and Gelidiella acerosa) were collected from rocky areas and turned into a p...
