Core Insights - The article highlights the potential of brown seaweed, specifically bladderwrack, as a key raw material for biostimulants that can enhance crop quality, improve soil structure, and promote green agricultural transformation [1][2]. Company Insights - Algea, a company under Syngenta Group, has developed specialized harvesting vessels that can collect 5 tons of seaweed per hour, ensuring efficient and sustainable harvesting practices [1]. - The seaweed is processed into biostimulant products through drying, grinding, and extraction of active ingredients, which are then distributed globally [1]. Industry Insights - Bladderwrack is rich in natural active components such as alginates, amino acids, and organic acids, which can help crops withstand harsh growing conditions and enhance resilience [2]. - Field trials in Europe and America have shown that biostimulants containing Norwegian bladderwrack extracts can increase crop yields by 15%, while a study in Brazil indicated a 12% yield increase in drought-affected corn [3]. - The global agricultural bioproducts market is projected to grow from $15.12 billion in 2024 to $43.53 billion by 2035, with a compound annual growth rate of 10% [3]. - Major companies like Syngenta, Bayer, Corteva, BASF, and Novozymes are driving innovation in biocrop protection and soil improvement [3]. - Biostimulants are increasingly recognized as the fourth essential agricultural input after seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides, playing a crucial role in sustainable agricultural development [3].
