PROCESS FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF A BIOSTIMULANT OR NATURAL FERTILIZER BASED ON FERMENTED MACROALGAE, NATURAL ADDITIVES AND PROBIOTIC BACTERIA FOR AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE

摘要

This invention concerns a process for the manufacture of a biostimulant based on fermented seaweed extracts, natural compounds and living bacteria to stimulate the growth and general vigour of plants while improving crop yields and crop quality. The process developed includes a microbial fermentation extraction technology involving a bacterial consortium comprised of bacteria selected from 3 strains of Bacillus sp, which concentrates in a liquid solution many molecules, nutrients and bioactive substances of agronomic interest from five varieties of seaweed (Saccharina longicruris, Fucus vesiculosus, Ascophyllum nodosum, Chondrus crispus and Furcellaria lumbricalis) harvested in the cold coastal waters of the Canadian Maritime Provinces.
