Abstract
The use of seaweeds as manure in agricultural land is very ancient and common practice in many countries. The use of seaweeds as fertilizer in crop production has a long tradition in coastal areas all over the world. Seaweeds possess most of the trace elements and plant growth hormones required for plants’ growth. It was reported that seaweed manure is rich in potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus. There are many plant growth hormones, regulators and promoters available to enhance yield attributes. Hence the present study has been made to investigate the effect of Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer (SLF) of Laurencia pedicularioides Boergesen on seed germination, shoot length, root length, biochemicals and pigment content of Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br. was studied. The Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer prepared from Laurencia pedicularioides Boergesen was observed to have the positive effect on the shoot and root length of Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br. The biochemicals such as total carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, phenols, chlorophylls and carotenoids were increased when the Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br. treated up to 10% of Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer. The seed germination, shoot length, root length, biochemical and pigment content were maximum at 10% SLF. Laurencia pedicularioides Boergesen can be used as biofertilizer for the growth of Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.
