Abstract
Reporters founded that mycorrhizal association in plant kingdom improves the plant growth. The present attempt has been on the use of Mycorrhiza for Helianthus growth in stress condition of the adverse red soil of konkan region, India and other climatic factors. Earlier reporters for the purpose to avoid chemical fertilisers, founded that Deproteinised juice (DPJ) or foliage whey induces appropriate plant growth and enhance soil fertility. During present investigation, mycorrhiza from Costus sp application to soil of potted sunflower plants influence was compared with organic DPJ addition obtained from fenugreek foliage during the process of green crop fractionation (GCF) technique. This whey is randomly disposed during this technology of leaf protein preparation, so appropriate use of it is advised. Whether the mycorrhiza and DPJ combination treatment were feasible for seed germination and the seedling growth of the Helianthus plant, it was analysed and compared with control. Studies were experimented on the effect of mycorrhiza treated alone and DPJ treated alone whether improves the plant growth. DPJ if added with mycorrhiza in soil, showed significant rate of germination. In earlier research, it was elucidated that the DPJ contains phytohormones auxins, gibberellins and cytokinins in unknown quantity which boosts the plant growth comparative to mycorrhizal influence. The chlorophyll content of the DPJ treated plants enhanced as compared with control while the content showed no significant difference with mycorrhiza.
Highlights
By the process of green crop fractionation (GCF), the leaf protein concentrate (LPC) (Leaf protein concentrate) obtained use as a protein and vitamin A supplement in human and animal nutrition is well recommended while the Deproteinised juice (DPJ) is considered as a byproduct of this process [1]
It was found that the rate of germination of sunflower by the influence of Eicchornia, Colocasia and radish DPJ was adverse
Leguminous fenugreek DPJ when added to mycorrhiza, it favours the rate of seed germination of non leguminous crop of sunflower, as it contains plant growth regulators IAA, GA and cytokinins at unknown quantity
Summary
By the process of green crop fractionation (GCF), the LPC (Leaf protein concentrate) obtained use as a protein and vitamin A supplement in human and animal nutrition is well recommended while the DPJ is considered as a byproduct of this process [1]. The Lucerne DPJ influence was envisaged on cowpea crop compared with urea and superhosphate fertilisers. They found the significant enhancement in protein content and dry biomass of [(Vigna unguiculata L.) walp] crop as compared with urea and superphosphate chemical fertilisers. Soil application of DPJ performed promising results in achieving the proper expression of nitrate reductase. Fungi like Aspergillus niger was cultured successfully on DPJ of plants like pea vines [2]. Ghewande and Deshpande [3] cultivated 5 fungi including Aspergillus on the DPJ expressed during fractionation of hybrid Napier grass. After the fungal growth when the culture filtrates were collected, they were used for the production of secondary metabolites
