Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods of use thereof for enhancing characteristics of plants and soil.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of increasing aggregation in a soil comprising the step of administering to the soil an amount of a microalgae material to increase aggregation in the soil compared to a substantially identical untreated soil, wherein the microalgae material comprises Chlorella cells and/or Schizochytrium cells. Also disclosed is a method of enhancing the active carbon score of a soil, comprising administering an amount of a microalgae material to the soil to increase the active carbon score of the soil compared to a substantially identical untreated soil, wherein the microalgae material comprises Chlorella cells and/or Schizochytrium cells.

Abstract: Methods of improving characteristics of plants and soil by administering an effective amount of a Gracilaria based composition in low concentration applications are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to agriculture and, more specifically, to biomass compositions and methods for decreasing bruising, increasing plant health, increasing soil health, increasing sweetness in fruits and/or decreasing needle-drop in conifer species.

Abstract: A composition and method for making microalgae pre-charged biochar for use in soil is disclosed. The composition comprises raw biochar and a liquid microalgae composition, wherein the liquid microalgae composition comprises dead pasteurized Chlorella microalgae cells and nutrients that are beneficial to the soil; such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, and sodium. The raw biochar and liquid microalgae composition are combined to create a pre-charging mixture, which is then incubated for between 12-24 hours, and dried. The pre-charged biochar is then buried within the vicinity of a fruiting plant, seedling, or seed; between approximately 2-6 deep within the soil.
