| Abstract | Seaweeds are a rich source of various bioactive compounds with promising applications in agriculture. This article explores the extraction techniques and potential of seaweed extracts as a natural approach to post-harvest preservation of fruits and vegetables. The presence and functions of key phytohormones in seaweed i.e., auxins, cytokinin, gibberellins, and abscisic acid (ABA) were explained. These hormones play a crucial role in plant growth, development, and stress responses. The article highlights how seaweed extracts containing these phytohormones can in?uence shelf life, quality, and disease resistance in fruits and vegetables. Studies have shown that seaweed extracts can extend shelf life by reducing weight loss, maintaining frmness, and improving nutritional content. Additionally, seaweed extracts demonstrate potential as a natural alternative to synthetic fungicides for controlling post-harvest diseases. Overall, this review suggested that seaweed extracts offer a sustainable and effective approach to enhancing the postharvest management of fruits and vegetables. |
