Abstract
Use of seaweed as a source of nutrition to evaluate the performance of maize hybrids (Zea mays), compared to a control. The experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Microbiology Laboratory, at the Agricultural Sciences Center, Federal University of Alagoas - UFAL. The design was completely randomised, with five treatments and four replications. The evaluated parameters were leaf height and fresh matter weight. According to the results, the cultivar that received pure algae fertilisation obtained the best response.
