Rising concerns in terms of soil fertility, crop productivity, and focus on reducing reliance on chemical pesticides is fuelling the demand for microalgae in the fertilizers sector. According to a report by Future Market Insights (FMI), the market will reflect a CAGR of 8.7%, surpassing US$ 21,747.6 Thousand by the end of 2031.
Microalgae is an organic, natural material and is a source of renewable energy obtained from marine or freshwater sources. Various species are finding roles of water retention and nutrition for varying soil profiles.
They have been utilized as a soil conditioner for numerous years in various studies, where liquid preparation and powdered extracts are used satisfactorily on cereal crops, resulting in increased crop yield, higher nutrient uptake, and improved herbicide tolerance.
Dry algae is also gaining traction as compost, assisting in soil binding, making it ideal for use as a bio-fertilizer. As dry algae is an organic material, it may store nutrients and provide them to plants via capillary action for a longer period.
Conventional chemical fertilizers dissolve in water and settle deep in the ground. Consequently, nutrients in fertilizers become unavailable over time. Microalgae fertilizers are used to resolve this problem. It also increases the soil’s water-holding capacity and the intermolecular space between soil molecules, allowing sufficient aeration to reach the root system.

Growing Applications of Microalgae Residue
Cyanobacteria and microalgae have numerous applications and are a significant source of bioactive compounds. Generally, microalga is a rich source of essential macro and micro-elements, which can be used as a protein source in food, feed, and fertilizer applications.
Microalgae contain lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins. Lipids extracted from algae are rich in oxygen (O) (26.3%), C (49.0%), N (5.76%) and hydrogen (H) (6.96%).
Untreated microalgae and microalgae biomass are rich in organic matter and macronutrient contents. This supports soil fertility, which in turn helps consumers to gain higher crop yield. Moreover, the cost of microalgae is comparatively low. Therefore, several fertilizer manufacturers utilize algae waste in their products.
