“…In the Fruit-Fix ® Hass experiment (subexperiment 2.2), the plants were not stressed; they grew normally, and the organic mixture had a positive effect on the number of sprouted buds. A similar effect on flowering and the subsequent number of fruits per plant was observed in several crops treated with mixtures of A. nodosum extract [35,36].…”

The market for avocado is one of the fastest expanding worldwide, inclduing the Mediterranean basin. Organic farming systems cannot make use of synthetic fertilizers and therefore rely on several cultural techniques to maintain vigorous young trees and for quick shoot development, satisfactory yield, and fruit quality. We studied the effect of three different organic products (Terra Insecta® (Aeiphoria-Sustainable products of Crete, Chania, Greece), Fruit-Fix®, and AMINO-16® (both products manufactured by EVYP, Sindos, Thessaloniki, Greece) on avocado plants in the cool subtropical area of southern Greece. Three experiments were carried out, two of them on young avocado trees, and the third one on mature, fully productive trees. The establishment success (ES) (%), plants with shoot induction (SI) (%), plants with shoot growth ≥ 3 cm (SG) (%), number of sprouted buds ≥3 cm per plant (SB), mean shoot length (cm) per plant (SL), total shoot length (cm) per plant (TSL), mean leaf number per plant (LN), and total leaf number per plant (TLN) were measured in the first and second experiments, while in the third experiment, fruit growth parameters (length, width, fruit weight, fruit weight increase (FWI)) and fruit quality parameters (dry matter, oil concentration, dry matter, and oil concentration increase) were measured. The application of 0.2 K of Terra Insecta® to the planting hole did not have any statistically significant effect on plant growth, but when added around the trunk, statistically higher values were observed for SB, SL, LN, TSL, and TLN in the Terra Insecta® treatment compared to the control. Fruit-Fix® application to Lamb Hass avocado trees resulted in significant differences in ES, SI, SG, SL, TSL, LN, and TLN, and in the Hass variety, in SB. In the AMINO-16® experiment, the fruit dimensions, quality parameters, and yield of the Hass variety were not recorded as significantly different. However, in the Fuerte variety, FW increased by 119.3% in the AMINO-16® treatment. The effect of the organic fertilizers used in this research showed noticeable results requiring studies to be carried out over more seasons, different tree ages, cultivation methods, and stress conditions.

“…Arthur et al (2003) report that applications of preparations based on seaweed extracts contribute to earlier flowering, better fruit set and fruit emergence of many crops [24]. Biostimulant formulations based on seaweed extracts enhance plant growth [25][26][27][28][29], and have positive effects on flowering parameters [30][31][32][33].…”

The aim of the study was to assess the impact of N Pro and Seactiv Complex technologies based on sea algae extracts on the yield and quality of Golden Delicious apple trees compared to the standard fertilization program. Research conducted in the years 2008–2017 showed that the tree fertilization technology and the year of research had a significant impact on the quality and yield parameters. The abundance of seaweed extracts had a positive effect on the greater number of fruits per tree (pcs.), their weight (t × ha−1; kg tree−1), the percentage of fruits exceeding 7.5 cm in size (%) and the average weight of fruits (g) compared to the control combination. In most of the analyzed study years, total yield exceeded the 90 t × threshold regardless of the fertilization program. The use of technology based on sea algae extracts during 10 years of research had a positive effect on the quality and weight compared to the standard fertilization technology commonly used in cultivation.

“…Seaweed extracts' capacity to promote early flowering may be responsible for their positive impact on yield productivity. Studies indicate that seaweed extracts (such as Ascophyllum nodosum) can hasten flower initiation and flowering in plants (Aliko et al, 2017). Similarly, there was an increase in flowering, early fruit ripening, and total tomato yield after plants were treated with seaweed extracts.…”

This study was carried out to investigate the impact of foliar application of Ascophyllum nodosum extract (ANE) to improve the quality and performance of Linum grandiflorum plants. During the two succeeding growing seasons of 2021/2022 and 2022/2023, the study was conducted at the Research Nursery of Antoniadis Gardens, Ornamental Plants and Landscape Gardening Res. Dept., Horticulture Res. Inst., ARC, Alexandria, Egypt. Individual L. grandiflorum seedlings were planted in 25 cm-diameter plastic pots. At concentrations of 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 ml/l, ANE was added as foliar spray. The results demonstrated that the spraying with ANE extract improved the L. grandiflorum plant height (cm), number of branches/plant, branch diameter (cm), shoot dry weight (g), number of flowers/plant, flower diameter (cm), and root length (cm). Furthermore, the data obtained indicated that the application of ANE spray led to the highest levels of carotenoids, anthocyanin, chlorophyll a, and b, as well as carbohydrates in leaves.
