Abstract
Effect of the Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer (SLF) of Kappaphycus alvarezii on the efficacy of germination, growth potential, biochemical changes during seedling growth and yield response in Paddy (Orysa sativa L.), Arachis hypogea L. (Groundnut) and Capsicum annum L. (Chilli) was investigated at different concentrations viz., 1%, 2%, 5% and 10%. The treatment increased plumule and radicle growth markedly in addition to their fresh weight in the seedlings of the plants. Growth of plumule, radicle and fresh weight of the seedlings of Paddy, and Chilli registered a significant increase to an extent of 44%, 63% and 75% and 43.2%, 95% and 64% respectively, in response to 2% K. alvarezii SLF treatment. Groundnut recorded an increase of 44.4%, 43.6% and 65% against 1% SLF treatment for the same parameters of growth. The yield of paddy and chilli were significantly increased up to 27% and 23% under glass house condition by 2% SLF supplemented with 100% recommended rate of chemical while groundnut recorded 30.6% increase in yield with 1% SLF supplemented with 100% recommended rate of chemical fertilizer. Biochemical constitutions such as Chlorophyll a and b, protein, carbohydrate and lipid also increased significantly in response to 2% and 1% SLF under glass house condition. The study revealed that the SLF of K. alvarezii can be effectively used at low concentrations to promote germination, growth and yield in crop plants.
