Effect of three sargassum extracts on bean grain production and quality

Abstract
Sargassum washouts have become a significant problem in the coastal areas of the Caribbean Sea. In Cuba, this phenomenon has occurred in the northwestern and south-central regions, making it urgent to utilize the biomass accumulated on coasts and beaches. Furthermore, macroalgae have gained interest in agriculture because they contain growth regulators and micro- and macronutrients that increase crop yields. Their extracts are considered biostimulants for organic agriculture due to their safety and biodegradability. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine the effects of foliar spraying with three different Sargassum extracts on bean production and quality. An experiment was conducted under field conditions using the cultivar CUL-156. Three foliar sprays were tested with doses equivalent to 2% of three Sargassum extracts obtained using different methodologies. Grain yield and quality components (protein, fat, moisture, and ash) were evaluated. The results showed that foliar sprays with the aqueous extract of kelp obtained by maceration (EAS1) were the most effective, increasing the number of pulses, the number of grains, and the grain mass per plant. It also increased protein and ash.
