Foliar Application of Seaweed Extract and Micronutrients on Plant Growth and Yield of Strawberry (Fragaria X ananassa Duch) CV. Winter Dawn

The review summarizes the findings from recent studies, assessing the impact of foliar application of seaweed extracts and micronutrients on strawberry plants. Improvements in growth parameters, nutrient uptake, TSS, and yield attributes were observed. The study also determines whether adding seaweed extracts and micronutrients to strawberry growth methods can improve plant performance in general and fruit yield in particular. Minerals, amino acids, and plant growth regulators are among the bioactive substances found in seaweed extracts that have been shown to have a positive impact on a number of plant physiological functions. Furthermore, vitamin shortages might result in decreased growth and yield because they are essential to the plant's metabolic processes. The combination of micronutrients and seaweed extract has synergistic effects that offer a promising way to boost the general health and yield of strawberry crops.
