Although inorganic fertilizers are known to raise environmental and health problems, the current agricultural practices are heavily dependent on the application of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. In this study, we examined the effect of Chlorella vulgaris strain on germination of tomato and cucumber seeds. Seeds were germinated in culture medium containing algal strain and grown for 3, 6, 9 and 12 days to study its effect on growth parameters. As results, C. vulgaris suspension increased the seed growth compared to those of the control (sterilized culture medium) of seed germination. The best treatments were 0.17 and 0.25 g/L of algal suspension for the root and shoot lengths of tomato and cucumber seeds, respectively.
