Abstract

The present investigation is an attempt to study the influence of seaweed liquid fertiliger (SLF) extracted from the marine green algae ulva lactuca on the growth parameters of Abelmoschus esculentus (l) medikus. The seeds were soaked in different concentrations of SLF viz., 2.5%, 5%, 10%, 20% and control for 6h. The foliar spry was applied twice at four concentrations of seaweed extract. The maximum growth was recorded at 5% concentration viz., seed germination, shoot length, root length, no. of flowers, no. of fruits, fresh weight and dry weight when compare to control and remaining concentrations of seaweed extract. The seaweed extract are found effective in increasing the growth parameters.
