Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Increasing sonicated A. maxima biomass concentrations enhanced basil growth parameters relative to the negative control.
- Intervention effect The commercial biofertilizer yielded results often similar to the negative control.
- Observation The A. maxima biomass contained high concentrations of phytohormones, macronutrients and essential amino acids.
- Mechanism The phytohormones in A. maxima likely explain its enhancement of basil growth.
- Recommendation The authors recommend assessing the feasibility of an economically accessible A. maxima product with higher concentration.
