Abstract
Seaweeds and the compounds they produce can aid in and improve plant growth. Comparatively speaking, they are less expensive and simpler to use than other bioproducts. In this study, the brown alga Padina pavonica was shown to contain growth regulators and specific mineral compositions. In this work, growth regulators including auxins and cytokinins were examined. The macronutrients found in Padina pavonica were nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. The nitrogen content level was the highest (262.15 mg/g dry wt.) among the three macronutrients. The quantitative level of zinc was higher (125 ppm) than that of other micronutrients, such as Cu, Fe, Mn, and Zn.
