Algae have achieved a high interest for their applications in the pharmaceutical, fish; animal and man feed industry as well as in agriculture. They have potential as biostimulants and biofertilizers; they can be applied in different ways such as foliar application, soil amendment and seed imbibition. They can be used in the production of different crops as an economic alternative, which allows for sustainable agriculture. Using them decreases the use of chemicals products and protects the environment. Algae bioproducts contain different metabolites, minerals and phytohormones that stimulate plant growth and yield, improve soil biological properties and increase productivity under conditions of abiotic and biotic stress. The objective of this review is investigate the potential role of macro and microalgae in the yield and protection of different crops.

Palavras-chave : microalgae; biofertilizers; biostimulants; protection.
