Microalgae based biofertilizer: A life cycle approach

Biologia Futura: potential of different forms of microalgae for soil improvement

“…The biofertilizer was produced by granulation process, with the addition of 12% dry MB (Microalgae Biomass) into triple superphosphate (TSP), Ca(H 2 PO 4 ) 2 .H 2 O. This proportion was chosen, after previous experiment conducted by Castro et al 2020. Authors tested several other addition proportions and 12% of MB corresponds to the value that presented higher P content in the millet plant shoot (Pennisetum glaucum L.) TSP + 12% MB showed no difference in P diffusion in the soil, while increase in proportion above 30% MB clearly impaired P diffusion.…”

Sustainable approaches towards wastewater treatment using algal technology along with management of post-harvest biomass

“…Blue-green algae are the most commonly used algal group as biofertilizers. Biofertilizers helps in promoting sustainable and organic farming (Castro et al, 2020). In a study conducted by Garcia improving crop productivity and contributing towards agricultural sustainability and reduced environmental impact.…”

“…Blue-green algae Nostoc, Anabaena, Aulosira, Tolypothrix, Nodularia, Cylindrospermum, Scytonema, Aphanothece, Calothrix, Anabaenopsis, Mastigocladus. Produce growth-promoting substances Table 3. Contribution of various algal species used as biofertilizers (Source: Castro et al, 2020) Spirulina (Kovač et al, 2013). In their study by Ścieszka and Klewicka (2018), the potential of algae in the food industry in food supplements like dietary supplements and as additives in food products like in marmalade, dairy products, cereal-based products due to their enriched protein, lipid, pigment, vitamin, carbohydrate contents have been reported.…”

Advances in Environmental Pollution Management: Wastewater Impacts and Treatment Technologies

“…Blue-green algae are the most commonly used algal group as biofertilizers. Biofertilizers helps in promoting sustainable and organic farming (Castro et al, 2020). In a study conducted by Garcia -Gonzalez and Sommerfeld (2016), the authors investigated the use of Acutodesmus dimorphus extract as a foliar spray application at 3.75 g/L for tomato plant resulted in improved plant height, increase in flowering rate, and branches per plant.…”
