Abstract: The effect of Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer (SLF) of three seaweeds was tested at different concentrations (10%, 20%, 40%, and 60%)on growth parameters of Allium cepa (onion), Solanum melongena (brinjal), Eleusinecoracana (ragi), Oryza sativa (paddy), Solanum lycopersicum (tomato).Seaweed extracts at different concentration were used to find out their efficiency on germination of seeds and plant growth inhibiting (toxic) concentration. This study revealed that the 40% level of SLF enhances the growth and yield than other concentrations. Thus in the present study, the effect of seaweed extract on plant germination is being discussed and the future perspective of its usage as a bio-fertilizer can be encouraged.
