Biodegradable Mulches and Films
In place of plastic mulches, Seaweed Oligosaccharide are processed into biodegradable films that regulate soil temperature, suppress weeds, and gradually release nutrients. These films decompose naturally within a growing season, eliminating plastic waste and reducing environmental pollution. Trials in strawberry and tomato cultivation have shown a 30% reduction in weed growth and improved fruit quality, highlighting their dual role in productivity and sustainability.
Sustainable Pest Management
Some seaweed oiligosaccharide exhibit mild antifungal and antibacterial properties, offering a natural alternative to chemical pesticides. For example, ulvans from green algae inhibit the growth of common plant pathogens like Botrytis cinerea. When integrated into integrated pest management (IPM) systems, they help control pathogens without harming beneficial organisms or disrupting ecosystems. Their use aligns with organic farming standards, appealing to eco-conscious consumers.

Seaweed Oligosaccharide represent a bridge between traditional farming and modern sustainability goals. |
By enhancing crop performance, conserving resources, and minimizing environmental impact, they align with the growing demand for eco-conscious agricultural practices.As research expands, these marine-derived compounds are poised to play an even greater role in shaping resilient and productive farming systems worldwide. Innovations in extraction and formulation will further unlock their potential, making them a cornerstone of future agroecological solutions.
Post-Harvest Applications
Beyond field applications, seaweed oligosaccharide extend to post-harvest management. Edible coatings derived from carrageenans or alginates preserve the freshness of fruits and vegetables by reducing water loss and oxidative damage. This extends shelf life and minimizes food waste, offering economic benefits to farmers and retailers alike.
