Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect A 1:50 extract dilution was most suitable for Arabidopsis growth.
- Observation No dilution response trend was detected in Beta vulgaris growth.
- Observation No dilution response trend was detected in Lactuca sativa growth.
- Intervention effect Extracts harvested in June produced peaks of increased plant growth.
- Observation Soil carbon dioxide flux did not differ among macroalgal extract species.
- Observation Soil carbon dioxide flux did not differ among harvest seasons.
- Association Soil carbon dioxide flux did not correlate with plant biomass.
- Recommendation The authors recommend harvesting the three macroalgae between May and August for plant stimulant products.
