Agriculture sector is facing a lot of constraints such as climate change, increasing population and the use of chemicals, and fertilizers which have significant influence on sustainability. The excessive usage of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has created a significant risk to humans, animals, plants, and the environment. To reduce the dependency on chemical fertilizers and pesticides a biological-based alternative is required. Seaweeds are essential marine resources that contain bioactive compounds and they have several uses in agriculture. The use of seaweed extracts in agriculture can mitigate stress, enhance nutrient efficiency, and boost plant growth. The use of seaweed extracts and their components activate several signaling pathways and defense-related genes/enzymes. In this review, an attempt has been made to explain how seaweed extracts and their bioactive components induce tolerance and promote growth under stress conditions.
农业部门面临着诸多限制因素，如气候变化、人口增长以及化学品和化肥的使用，这些对可持续性有着重大影响。化肥和农药的过度使用对人类、动物、植物和环境造成了重大风险。为了减少对化肥和农药的依赖，需要一种基于生物的替代方案。海藻是重要的海洋资源，含有生物活性化合物，在农业中有多种用途。在农业中使用海藻提取物可以减轻压力、提高养分效率并促进植物生长。海藻提取物及其成分的使用会激活多种信号通路和与防御相关的基因/酶。在这篇综述中，我们试图解释海藻提取物及其生物活性成分如何在胁迫条件下诱导耐受性并促进生长。
