This book explores the role of algae in agrobiology, highlighting its historical and contemporary applications in agriculture and livestock breeding. Algae have been used traditionally for soil amendment and fertilization, contributing to crop production, particularly in European coastal regions. The book delves into the biological activities of algae, including its impact on plant growth, stress tolerance, and defense mechanisms, as well as its nutritional benefits in animal feed, enhancing zootechnical performance and health. Aimed at researchers and practitioners in agriculture and biology, the book emphasizes algae's significance in sustainable practices and ecological production, aligning with agrobiological and organic agriculture goals. |
