ABSTRACT
Seaweed is one of the most important marine resources of the world. Liquid fertilizers were extracted from the brown algae Turbinaria decurrens collected from Rameshwaram coast. The liquid extract of Turbinaria decurrens used as a foliar spray and observed the growth; yield and biochemical constituents on Vigna radiate. The low concentration of seaweed liquid fertilizer enhanced the productivity of greengram.
Key words :
Biochemical parameters, biofertilizer, brown algae, greengram, growth, seaweed extract, Turbinaria decurrens, Vigna radiata.
