Description 424-431
Seaweed extracts are extensively used as fertilizers across the globe. However, their mechanism of action and effects are
less understood and need to be studied in detail. The present study investigated the effect of Ulva lactuca seaweed extract as
a liquid fertilizer (SLF) on the growth characteristics of green gram. The seeds of green gram were soaked in varied
concentrations of aqueous seaweed extract like 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 %. Additionally, the SLF was applied on germinated
seedlings as foliar spray treatment in 2 days interval. The maximum growth parameters were observed in foliar spray
treatment at 8 % concentration and in seed soaking treatment at 2 % concentration. The seaweed extract was effective in
influencing the growth characteristics of green gram.
