Abstract
Modern agricultural strategies are evolving worldwide as sustainable, organic, and chemical-free practices. Modern agriculture aims to increase the yield with less chemical input and maintain soil health. This is possible via bio-stimulants and biofertilizers. Microalgae and seaweed fertilizers are considered as potential candidates for achieving the aforementioned objectives. In the current study, the efficacy of commercially available seaweed fertilizer and Chlorella vulgaris powder was evaluated by growing wheat plants in greenhouses. The results were compared with control and commercially available inorganic fertilizer. Several growth parameters were recorded. We found C. vulgaris powder has prominent impacts on plant growth and soil health. In the current study MB2 treatment (10g C. vulgaris powder/kg of soil) shows the most promising results in growth and yield parameters. It has been found that all organic treatments we used in the current study have more yield compared to commercially available inorganic fertilizers
