Abstract

There are currently several products that have been called Biostimulants. Several are the basis of algae extracts, for which a number of benefits have been verified, in particular the growth of plants and their production. The present project aims to test two pure extracts of seaweed, that is, without being formulated with nutrients, the most common situation seen in Brazil. One is a liquid extract and another powder, of different origins. It is intended to test them in a mini-tomato in a controlled environment and to verify the effects on productivity and quality of the tomato produced.
