Q

what are some benefits to seaweed extracts in horticulture?

A

increase in crop yields, improve growth, increase plant resistance to frost, fungal and insect attack, reducing pest infestations. reduce storage loss in fruit, increase inorganic nutrient uptake from the soil.

Q

why biofuels? (writing assignment)

A

algae=worlds most efficient photosynthesizing plant. single cell duplicating itself and storing energy in the form of oil. sometimes 80% oil/biomass ratio. pale green algae so that light can penetrate deeper to more organisms.
