Abstract

Effect of Gamma Irradiated Sodium Alginate on Selective Crops as Plant Growth Promoter and Bug control action.

Highlights

  • Natural bioactive agents, such as various polysaccharides, can be beneficially utilized to improve the existing methodologies used to impart value addition in agriculture by converting the bioactive agents into more useful form [1]

  • The use of depolymerized sodium alginate in promoting plant growth and thereby, augmenting the desired active constituents in medicinal and aromatic plants is inexpensive and safe [2, 4, . 13-16] The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the foliar application of irradiated SA could be used to enhance the growth, physiological activities, yield attributes and other active constituents in selective plants

  • Results & Discussion Growth promotion effect on plants height The fig.1 shows that the changes of plant height after 90 days due to applying nonirradiated and irradiated SA of different concentration

Summary

Introduction

Natural bioactive agents, such as various polysaccharides, can be beneficially utilized to improve the existing methodologies used to impart value addition in agriculture by converting the bioactive agents into more useful form [1]. Such type of biologically active oligosaccharides, derived from sodium alginate, have been known to act as signal molecules that govern plant growth and development and defense reactions by regulating gene expression . 13-16] The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the foliar application of irradiated SA could be used to enhance the growth, physiological activities, yield attributes and other active constituents in selective plants. The betel vine garden used for this experiment was situated
