Description :
The efficiency of fresh water algae as liquid biofertilizer was studied on the seed germination and seedling
growth of safflower. The experimental analysis was carried out by soaking the seed overnight in various
concentrations (1%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and the control D.W.)Of a algae liquid extract in a present
study, algal extract showed maximum activity in 15% concentration in term of increase in seed germination,
root length, shoot length, total height and seedling vigour index (SVI) as compared to control and other
concentrations. Thus, the result reveals that algae can be used as a effective source of liquid biofertilizer.
