Three very important economic field crops of Montana (winter wheat Triticum aestivum, potato Solanum tuberosum, and flax Linum usitatissimum) were used for the fertilization experiments. Isolates of unicellular green algae PW95 (sequenced as Neospongiococcum sp.) from the CBM ponds, and blue-green microalgae – Cyanobacteria (Anabaena Cylindrica) were cultured in the laboratory and the cells were concentrated using gravity sedimentation. Nutrient analysis of the PW95 cultures showed nitrogen as the most abundant component with a concentration of 1240 mg/L. Other components, such as potassium and phosphorus, 264 mg/L and 130 mg/L respectively, were also detected. Concentrated algal slurry was added to the seedlings after the determination of their nutrient composition and the wh...
