Abstract

Chemical fertilizers possess health risks and soil pollution, in addition to these very expensive and significantly higher production costs. Seaweed liquid fertilizer is proved to be the better alternative to nourish plants. Hence, the present study focused on the alternate from Sargassum Species seaweed. Extraction of sea weed with water, ethanol, chloroform, methanol, petroleum ether and ethyl acetate were tested for the efficiency with and without Microbial supplementation. Methanolic extract found to show higher protein components (670 µg/ml), carbohydrate (98µg/ml), total phenolic (0.256 mg/ml), chlorophyll (0.260 mg/ml) and lower levels of lipids (0.650gm/10mL), carotenoids (0.057mg/ml), and Total Flavonoid (1.087 mg/ml). Bacterial supplementation of seaweed with Methylobacterium species was found to influence plant growth positively.
