Abstract
The present study was aimed to carry out the effect of Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer (SLF) of the brown seaweed Sargassum linearifolium (Turner) C.Ag. on the seed germination, shoot length, root length, biochemical contents and pigment characteristics of Zea mays L. The Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer was prepared in four different concentrations separately (2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5% and 10%). The 10% concentration of SLF showed the best positive results on seed germination, shoot length, root length, biochemicals such as total carbohydrates, total proteins, total lipids, total phenols and pigments namely total chlorophylls, total carotenoids. The data observed from the present study showed that the Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer of Sargassum linearifolium (Turner) C.Ag. could be used as biofertilizer to increase the productivity of Zea mays L.
