Abstract :
As a vast and varied collection of microbes,
algae are capable of photosynthesis, which allows them
to convert energy from sunlight into chemical
compounds. The agricultural sector relies heavily on
algae due to their usefulness as biofertilizers and soil
stabilizers. The use of algae, especially seaweeds, as
fertilizers leads to a decrease in nitrogen and phosphorus
discharge compared to that produced by animal dung.
The water that eventually makes its way into rivers and
seas is therefore of higher quality. As dietary
supplements for humans, these creatures are farmed all
over the globe. They need very little water to grow, and
they may be cultivated on desert and abandoned land,
producing food that is both clean and carbon neutral.
Iodine is abundant in seaweeds. The dietary intake of the
milking cow determines the milk's iodine content. If you
want more iodine in your milk, feed your cows seaweed.
Incorporating algae into chicken feed speeds up the egg-
laying process. This article provided a concise overview
of algae and its agricultural applications, covering the
essentials for anyone involved in this field.
