Abstract
The genus Sargassum possesses high biotechnological value due to its content of bioactive compounds and nutrients, positioning it as a promising raw material for the development of sustainable agricultural inputs. This research aimed to evaluate the biostimulant potential of a Sargassum horridum hydrolysate obtained under acidic conditions on the germination and initial development of cucumber (Cucumis sativus) seedlings compared to a commercial product (Trialga-L®). Seedlings treated with the Sargassum horridum hydrolysate showed significantly greater stem and root growth than that observed with the commercial product. Although the concentration of 2.0 mS cm-1 reduced chlorophyll content and decreased the germination rate index compared to the control, it is concluded that the S. horridum hydrolysate constitutes a mixture capable of supporting seedling development, validating its use as a strategy for the valorization of brown algae in agriculture.
Maize (Zea mays L.) is a globally important crop, particularly in Mexico, where it faces challenges such as climate change, soil degradation, and phytopathogenic diseases. This study evaluated the effect of biostimulants (Trichoderma spp., chitosan, and humus leachate) on morphometric growth and rhizosphere fungal dive...

Lettuce production faces challenges that require sustainable alternatives to improve productivity and crop quality. The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of the combined application of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHAp) and a chitin-based biostimulant (CB) on yield, phytochemical compounds, and enz...

Vermicomposts incorporated into the soil promote fruit development in vegetables. They also induce fruit set, which leads to increased crop yields. The present study was carried out aiming to know the influence of vermicompost (LB) and phytoregulator (AG) in the cultivation of zucchini, under shade house conditions. A...

Sustainable inputs combining nutrient provision with potential biostimulatory activity may improve cacao plant establishment while reducing dependence on mineral fertilizers. This study evaluated biomass suspensions of the red microalgae Porphyridium cruentum as the sole externally applied nitrogen (N) input for seed-d...
