        The human population is continuously growing, which can be about 9.5 billion people by 2050 and the demand for food could be covered with the optimization of agricultural tasks.   Innovative products based on agronomic needs have been developed by manufacturers, getting the attention of the scientific community, extension specialists, and industry stakeholders, including policymakers and crop growers. This review examines how the use of microalgae grown in wastewater as biostimulants, biofertilizers, or biopesticides for plants has emerged as one of the economically promising options in recent years: the positive effects of their extracts have been demonstrated in several studies. Microalgae can produce phytohormones, and volatile fatty acids and are a rich source of amino acids, thus enhancing plant growth, development, and stress response.
