Regenerative agriculture increasingly relies on organic soil amendments to improve fertility and crop productivity. This study evaluates the effects of dried algae (DA), vermicompost (VC), liquid hydrolyzed fish seaweed fertilizer (LA), a control (S0, untreated without amendments) fertility, growth, nutrient uptake, physiology sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.), key cover for improvement. Treatments were applied at 1 ton/ha 3 8 mL/L (LA). Plants grown 10 weeks, during which plant chlorophyll content, biomass measured. Soil samples analyzed macro- micronutrients. S0 DA treatments produced highest biomass, with showing total carbon matter content. LA-treated soils exhibited elevated phosphorus, potassium, sodium levels, while shoots had significantly higher sulfur zinc concentrations. LA treatment notably increased content by study’s end. Overall, demonstrated strong potential as nutrient-rich amendment, provided robust baseline production. VC enriched phosphorus potassium but resulted in lowest biomass. promoted shoot growth required root development management optimization. These findings highlight need align amendment choice characteristics environmental conditions optimize productivity health sustainable farming systems.
