摘要
The important purpose of this work is to evaluate the biostimulant activity of the algae Chlorella vulgaris and Ulva lactuca extracts on the crop plants Lactuca sativa, to compare the effect of these two green algae on plant growth and development as a part of a sustainable plant production method and show that these extracts can be a promissory source for replacing chemical fertilization. The study faces all the phases of plant growth, from the germination of the seeds to the greenhouse plant growth and treatment, matched with the chemical characterization of both the green algae used and the lettuce plants. This work is meant to define a tool to be improved by more experiments and studies in order to suggest a sustainable method that could ensure an adequate use of organic fertilizer. After the identification of the best concentration of the respective extracts of C. vulgaris and U. lactuca, the experiment affirmed that a low concentration (15% C. vulgaris and 25% U. lactuca) of the extracts contributed to the production of plants with a satisfying nutritional profile, while a high concentration (75% U. lactuca) is conducive to lettuce production with some parameters not suitable for human diet and health.
