ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer (SLF) obtained using
Colpomenia sinuosa (Mert. ex Roth) Derbes & Solier collected from Koothankuzhi, Tirunelveli district,
Tamil Nadu, India on seed germination, shoot length, root length, biochemicals and pigment content of
Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek. The seeds of Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek. were treated in different
concentration such as 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10.0% of Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer prepared from Colpomenia
sinuosa (Mert. ex Roth) Derbes & Solier. The seed germination, shoot and root length, the biochemicals
such as total carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, phenols, chlorophylls and carotenoids were increased when
the Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek. treated from 2.5% to 10% of Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer. The seed
germination, shoot length, root length, biochemical and pigment content were maximum at 10% SLF.
Keywords: Seaweed, SLF, Colpomenia sinuosa, Vigna radiata.
