Commercial production of microalgae has been carried out for many
years for many purposes. Microalgal production is one of the most effective
and economical solutions known in areas such as wastewater treatment
and conversion of solar energy into biomass, which have now become an
industry. On the other hand, microalgae are also important for the production
of energy and some chemical substances (methane gas). Many single-celled
microalgae are generally evaluated in the food sector and are used as additives
in medicine, pharmacy and cosmetic products due to the pigments, antibiotics
and vitamins they contain. They are also evaluated as human and animal food.
They are used as organic fertilizer in agricultural areas. Microalgae are the first
and indispensable nutrients of aquaculture. Today, commercial microalgae
production is carried out by culturing microalgae such as Chlorella vulgaris
Beyerinck [Beijerinck] and Arthrospira platensis Gomont, which are generally
evaluated as human food and used in medicine and pharmacy. For this reason,
commercial microalgae production has spread rapidly in the world and various
industrial branches have been formed. This research study investigated
whether the use of microalgae as biofertilizers in agriculture would have
an effect on yield and quality. It is thought that the study will provide added
value to agriculture, especially organic agriculture. This study was supported by Kocaeli University, BAPB with project number 2018/148. We would like to
thank our University for their support.
