“…This was reported in tomato and sweet pepper plants treated with extracts of A. nodosum , S. vulgare , and A. spicifera [ 5 , 13 ]. Apart from increasing harvestable crop yield, extracts have been reported to enhance the nutrient quality of crops such as tomato, pepper, lettuce, spinach, cucumber, and strawberry [ 6 , 12 , 37 , 38 , 39 ]. Treatment of cucumber with an extract of Macrocystis pyrifera led to significant increases in total phenols, antioxidant capacity, and vitamin C in the fruits [ 39 ].…”

The use of seaweed-based bioproducts has been gaining momentum in crop production systems owing to their unique bioactive components and effects. They have phytostimulatory properties that result in increased plant growth and yield parameters in several important crop plants. They have phytoelicitor activity as their components evoke defense responses in plants that contribute to resistance to several pests, diseases, and abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, and cold. This is often linked to the upregulation of important defense-related genes and pathways in the plant system, priming the plant defenses against future attacks. They also evoke phytohormonal responses due to their specific components and interaction with plant growth regulation. Treatment by seaweed extracts and products also causes significant changes in the microbiome components of soil and plant in support of sustainable plant growth. Seaweed extracts contain a plethora of substances which are mostly organic, but trace levels of inorganic nutrient elements are also present. Fractionation of seaweed extracts into their components and their respective bioassays, however, has not yielded favorable growth effects. Only the whole seaweed extracts have been consistently proven to be very effective, which highlights the role of multiple components and their complex interactive effects on plant growth processes. Since seaweed extracts are highly organic, they are ideally suited for organic farming and environmentally sensitive crop production. They are also very compatible with other crop inputs, paving the way for an integrated management approach geared towards sustainability. The current review discusses the growth and functional effects evoked by seaweed extracts and their modes and mechanisms of action in crop plants which are responsible for elicitor and phytostimulatory activities. The review further analyses the potential value of seaweed extracts in integrated crop management systems towards sustainable crop production.

“…An important component of this biostimulant is the seaweed extract, as it was in the research of Frioni et al (2019), who observed similar positive effects of Acadian Marine Plant Extract Powder © on anthocyanin, and phenolic concentration in grapes, which correlated with specific modulation of genes involved in the flavonoid metabolic pathways. Biostimulants based on algae extracts significantly increased Vitamin C content in apples (Nagy, Csihon, & Szabó, 2019), cucumbers (Trejo Valencia et al, 2018) and carrots (Wszelaczyńska, Szczepanek, Pobereżny, & Kazula, 2019). An increased anthocyanin and phenolic content in table grape cv.…”

Plants must cope with different environmental stresses during their whole lifetime. Abiotic stresses like drought, salt, mineral nutrition disturbances and temperature stress are commonly interconnected through some physiological events in stressed plants, such as the synthesis of protective plant compounds as a response to stress. Many of these, produced within plant primary or secondary metabolism, act as functional compounds not exclusively in plants but in other organisms as well. Concurrently, many of the active compounds in biostimulants which can support plant stress tolerance and productivity in adverse growth conditions are the metabolites or intermediates that may influence the plant's edible parts nutritional quality. Such effects of biostimulants application are not elucidated enough, therefore, we aimed to give an overview of recent advances in the research related to the interplay among abiotic stress, plant response, biostimulants effects and plant‐derived functional food, focusing on plant metabolites as the link which connects the environment with the food chain.

“…Foliar spray Foliar spray+Fertigation because it can increase vegetative growth and yield in crops such as cereals, leafy vegetables, cucumber, tomato, and pepper (Ali et al, 2016;Rouphael et al, 2018;Trejo Valencia et al, 2018;Ashour et al, 2020). The trend of cucumber production in the future is organic cucumber production because it has high consumer demand.…”

The purpose of this experiment was to compare the growth and quality of cucumber fruits, in response to different concentrations (C0, C0.75, and C1.5 g L-1) and different application methods (M1: foliar sprays, M2: fertigation, M3: combined foliar sprays and fertigation) of seaweed extract (SwE). The simultaneous use of the method and different concentration of SwE increased the fresh weight of the leaf, fruit weight, yield, number of leaves, evaporation, fruit length, fruit diameter and firmness, stomatal conductance, and nitrate concentration of fruit. On the other hand, the highest amount of fruit firmness (69.25 and 69.27 N) was observed in M2C0.75 and M2C1.5 compared to other treatments, respectively. The M1C0.75 treatment increased the fruit diameter by 26.52% more than the M1C0 treatment. Fruit weight, fruit length, and yield were in the following order in different treatments, M1C1.5˃ M1C0.75 ˃ M3C1.5. So that only in the M1C1.5 treatment, fruit weight, yield, and fruit length were 25, 52.55, and 25.86% higher than the M1C0 treatment, respectively. Generally, the M1 and M3 in concentrations of 0.75 and 1.5 created better plant growth, fruit shape, and quality characteristics compared to the second method (M2) and the C0 treatment. Therefore, the concentration of 1.5 g L-1 and the use of foliar spraying methods, and the combination of foliar spraying and fertigation can be recommended to achieve the maximum yield and quality of cucumber fruits.
