Description Seaweed liquid fertilizer prepared from aqueous extracts of red and
brown seaweeds were tried on Brinjal, Solanum melongena, L.
under lab conditions. Basal application of aqueous extract
of Sargassum wightii to Brinjal was found beneficial to boost the
height of the plant, number of flowers/ plant considerably and the
levels of chlorophyll pigments 27% more than the control. This
increased the fruit yield exhibited by number and weight of fruits
over control as well as the extract of red seaweed Grateloupia lithophila.
However, extracts of G. lithophila promoted early flowering, delayed
senescence of leaves of eggplant. Biochemical constituents in the
treated plants such as total sugars, proteins and lipids too showed
considerable increase (mg/g dry weight, P
