Plants that do not get enough nutrients from the soil are provided with organic fertilizers. Seaweed manure is one of the most commonly used organic fertilizers for this purpose. Studies have shown that seaweed fertilizer facilitates the biodegradation process and increases seedling growth and photosynthetic pigment components. It has been shown to improve productivity, phenolic content (PC), indole acetic acid (IAA) and total soluble sugar (TSS) content under drought conditions. It has also been found to increase germination, plant growth and antioxidant enzyme activity in case of salinity stress. It has been proven by various studies that seaweed fertilizer also increases the leaf ratio and grain protein ratio. In addition to the application of seaweed fertilizer to the soil and leaves, it is also common to use it as a seed coating. With all its features, algae fertilizer provides less chemical fertilizer use. This review was made to examine the importance of using algae fertilizer to meet the nutritional needs of grains and in various stress situations.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGrainOrganic agricultureSeaweed manurebook-chapter2-s2.0-8521597771310.1007/978-3-031-81564-5_61
