Research into biostimulants and seaweed extracts Research from across the world into seaweed extracts and bioagronomy. Academic interest in the benefits of biostimulants and seaweed extracts is both global and widespread. In order to make it easier for interested bodies to find out more about current research, we have compiled a summary of various research papers which are available on the internet. These will be added to on a regular basis so please bookmark the site and re-visit regularly so you can keep up to date. If you spot a broken link please let us know and we will endeavour to update it. If you have a specific crop which you are interested in, then you can click on the list of crops on the left hand side of this page. This will bring up papers which have been published about the respective crop. If you know of other papers you would like us to add please let us know.
