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.Generated by AI.AlgaeGenerated by AISustainable agricultureGenerated by AIAlgaeSustainable agriculture660.6Fleurence Joel1340639MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910840961003321Algae in Agrobiology4135696UNINA
