“…Our experiments revealed that algal filtrate (50%) applied to the soil or foliarly increased the content of some elements, such as: Zn, B, K, Na, Ca, Mg, Mn. This is supported by results presented by Sosnowski et al (2014), who found that spraying hybrid alfalfa with the seaweed extract from Ecklonia maxima resulted in an increase in the content of P, K, Zn, and Mn in aerial parts of this plant [41]. An increased content of P and K in lettuce was observed in the work of Trinchera et al (2014) after application of seaweed filtrate from Ascophyllum nodosum [1].…”

Algal filtrate and homogenate, obtained from Baltic seaweeds, were applied in seedling growth tests. Radish seeds were used in order to assess algal products phytotoxicity and their biostimulant effect on growth and nutrient uptake. Algal filtrate, at concentrations ranging from 5.0% to 100% was used for seed soaking and as a liquid biostimulant (soil and foliar application). Algal homogenate was developed for seed coating. Algal filtrate and homogenate were also enriched with Zn(II) ions in order to examine the influence on metal ion complexation. The optimal doses of algal filtrate and homogenate, as well as soaking time were established. Multi-elemental analyses of the raw biomass, filtrate, homogenate, and radish were also performed using ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectrometry). The best results in terms of seedlings' length and weight were obtained using clear filtrate at a concentration of 50% applied to the soil and for homogenate applied at a dose of 50 mg/g of seeds. Clear filtrate at a concentration of 50% used for seed soaking for one hour showed the best results. The applied algal products increased the content of elements in seedlings. Among the tested products, a concentration of 50% algal filtrate is recommended for future pot and field experiments.

“…2.5 times more of Ca, and three times more of K than Lepidium sativum from the control group. Sosnowski et al (2014) have also shown that the application of the extract from Ecklonia maxima increased the content of macroelements (especially K by 16% higher than in the control group) in aerial biomass of hybrid alfalfa. It has also been shown that algal extract increased the content of Zn in the biomass and decreased the content of Cu [24].…”

Large quantities of green seaweed, probably due to eutrophication, are found in the Baltic Sea, as well as on the beach. The tourist attractiveness of the seaside resorts is therefore reduced. The aim of this study was to find the method of the utilization of this algal biomass into fertilizers. Algae, collected from the Baltic Sea, were co‐composted with sawdust and quail manure in order to produce natural fertilizer. From the compost, algal extract was additionally produced that can act as a plant growth biostimulant. The compost and extract were biologically evaluated by the determination of the growth and multielemental composition of garden cress (Lepidium sativum) in germination tests. Additionally, the odour emissions during composting process were investigated. It was found that the dry biomass was comparable in all examined groups (compost, extract, distilled water). The average length of plants in the group with compost was 14.5% higher than in the group with the extract (difference not statistically significant). There has been observed a positive effect of the addition of compost on the content of micro‐ and macronutrients in the biomass of the cultivated plants, especially boron, calcium, iron and silicon. The averaged odour concentrations measured from the compost and extract samples were very low and reached the values of 8 and 24 ouE/m3, respectively. According to the obtained results, by composting of seaweeds it is possible to produce a valuable organic fertilizer, which is the method of valorisation of this biomass.
