The research aims to identify the impact of using aquarium algae as a biopesticide in the state of Ibri by answering the following questions:
1- What is the effect of using aquarium algae on plant growth?
2- What is the impact of using aquarium algae on the environment?
To answer these questions, a scientific research method was applied, where I used three pea plants and made three samples of the algae powder mixture. The first mixture contains algae powder and water, the second mixture contains algae powder, starch, sugar, and water, and the third mixture contains algae powder, water, and sugar. Then note the effect of each mixture of algae in eliminating parasites living on the three samples of pea plants, comparing the growth rates of the three samples, and the effect of biocides made from algae powder on the three samples. Apply the water protocol to well water in terms of (salinity, acidity, temperature, conductivity, oxygen) to know the effect of these elements on plant growth. I studied the three samples of the algae powder mixture and followed the growth of the three plant samples. I found that the plant that was sprayed with the algae powder mixture with water grew faster and had more leaves.
