Abstract
The invention relates to the use of phycobiliproteins or of an extract containing same as fertilizer, a method for stimulating tillering and/or root development and/or the yield of a plant, as well as fertilizer compositions comprising phycobiliproteins or an extract containing same and (i) an amendment and/or (ii) a fertilizer other than phycobiliproteins or an extract containing same.
Claims29
A method for fertilizing a plant, comprising application to a soil containing the plant an effective amount of an extract containing phycobiliproteins, in which the extract containing phycobiliproteins is a phycobiliprotein-enriched extract, the dry mass of phycobiliproteins in the extract being at least 10% of the total weight of dry matter of the extract, thereby stimulating tillering and root development of the plant.
A method for stimulating tillering and root development of a plant, comprising supplying an effective amount of an extract containing phycobiliproteins to a soil comprising the plant, in which the extract containing phycobiliproteins is a phycobiliprotein-enriched extract, the dry mass of phycobiliproteins in the extract being at least 10% of the total weight of dry matter of the extract, thereby stimulating tillering and root development of the plant.
A fertilizer composition comprising an extract containing phycobiliproteins and (i) an amendment and/or (ii) a fertilizer other than phycobiliproteins or an extract containing same, in which the extract containing phycobiliproteins is a phycobiliprotein-enriched extract, the dry mass of phycobiliproteins in the extract being at least 10% of the total weight of dry matter of the extract.
