Crop yield responses to seaweed extract-based biostimulants depend on application strategy, formulation, and extraction methods: a meta-analysis
were more variable. Overall, these findings indicate that seaweed extracts are associated with reproducible yield benefits while identifying agronomic conditions under which their effectiveness can be maximized.
