ABSTRACT

The effect of Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer (SLF) of Gracilaria textorii and Hypnea musciformis on seed germination, growth and yield parameters such as number of leaves, weight of fruits in crop plants such as Brinjal, Tomato and Chilly were examined. The Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer was found to be effective in increasing the growth and yield in low doses (1:4 and 1:6 conc.) than the control, 1:2 and higher concentrations of seaweed Liquid fertilizer.
