- Abstract
The article discusses the use of seaweeds such as Ascophyllum nodosum or knotted wrack as fertilizer in Great Britain. It says that seaweeds have been famous for being a valuable organic soil conditioner. It adds that the high potash and low phosphate content of knotted wrack extracts help encourage better plant growth-regulator metabolism than farmyard manure. Furthermore, seaweed extracts increases the number of microbial enzymes including glucanase, xylanase, and amylase.
