Algae can efficiently take up excess nutrients from waterways, making them a valuable resource potentially capable of replacing synthesized and mined fertilizers for agriculture. The capacity algae to fertilize crops has been quantified, but it is not known how the algae-derived become available plants. We aimed address this question: what are temporal dynamics plant growth responses algal biomass? better propose mechanisms by which plants acquire biomass thereby study promote those...
Alternative, recycled sources for mined phosphorus (P) fertilizers are needed to sustain future crop growth. Quantification of phenotypic adaptations and performance plants with a nutrient source is required identify breeding targets agronomy practices new fertilization strategies. In this study, we tested the responses wheat (Triticum aestivum) its genetic model, Brachypodium (Brachypodium distachyon), dried algal biomass (with algae or high low mineral P) under three growing conditions...
