abstract = "In the present study, the Fucus vesiculosus is considered as perspective feedstock for obtaining fertilizers and valuable biologically active compounds. Polyphenols (phlorotannin) and sulfated polysaccharide (fucoidan) were isolated using sequential extraction from the above-mentioned seaweed. The total content of polyphenolics in hydrophilic extracts is 680 GAE/g. The yield of fucoidan from brown algae was 7 \% on the oven dry seaweed. The assessment of biological activity of Fucus vesiculosus was performed using germination test and vegetation test. The results of the tests revealed that the Fucus vesiculosus promotes the growth of the agricultural plants, is not phytotoxic, and has a good potential in sustainable agriculture.",
