Potential of seaweeds as biostimulants in Cuban agricultural production

To minimize the use of agrochemicals and stimulating the use of the natural products obtained from local feedstocks constitutes a challenge for modern agriculture. Seaweeds are rich source of carbohydrates, plant growth regulators, macro and micronutrients, vitamins, amino acids, osmoprotec...
