Utilization of Algae in Crop Improvement and Crop Protection for a Better Agricultural System

Abstract

In this present situation, the ongoing pressure to reduce the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizer inputs is a major challenge for sustainable agriculture. Microbial applications are a safe and renewable mode in the maintenance of agricultural productivity. Algae are acknowledged for their wide application ranging from agriculture to industries. They play a crucial role in sustainable agriculture and are used as bio-fertilizer and soil stabilizers, decreasing the need for synthetic fertilizers. The major focus is laid on the role of algae, microalgae, and cyanobacteria in soil fertility and their beneficial roles in agriculture and the maintenance of environmental sustainability.
