<p>The effect of seaweed liquid fertilizer (SLF) of Hypnea musciformis (wulf.) Lamour.was tested at different concentrations (1, 2, 3 and 4 g/ml) on seed germination and biochemical constituents of Vigna radiata L. The extracts promoted seed germination at lower levels of SLF application. The seeds treated with, 2 g/ ml concentration showed maximum seed germination, radicle length, hypocotyl length, seedling length, fresh weight, phytomass, productivity, phytotoxicity, and photosynthetic pigments like Chlorophyll A, B, and total chlorophyll. Moreover, the different extracts of seaweed were subjected to phytochemical screening. All the<br />tested compounds (tannins, alkaloids, saponins, glycosides, and steroids) were present in varied degrees in Hypnea. The result of the present study can help in the identification and selection of raw materials in agriculture and drug industry.</p>

Eleven trial fields were selected on the islands of South Holland in an investigation of the reactions of vegetables to the salt content of the soil. The C index (number of grams of NaCl per litre of soil moisture) was calculated for the 5-20 cm. soil layer, and varied from normal to 8. In fields with a high C index the following effects were observed: Before rain leaching, seed germination of leeks, spinach and carrots was poor. Seed germination of chicory was also poor where the soil structure had deteriorated; soil structure was improved by gypsum applications. The crops grew more slowly and were harvested at a later date than in normal soils. Bolting was stimulated in cabbage lettuce and spinach. Lettuce, endive and savoy cabbage showed marginal leaf scorch, and leeks showed tipburn. Phaseolus beans, peas and strawberries were very sensitive to even a low salt content. There were only slight differences in yields of brassicas sown in situ and transplanted; with leeks sowing in situ was inferior to transplanting. The forcing quality of chicory roots from salty soils was approximately the same as of those from normal soils. The cauliflower crop failed in the trial fields. Yields of leafy crops were better in soils with high than with low moisture contents. Brussels sprouts and red cabbage were more susceptible to attack by Phoma lingam [Leptosphaeria maculans] in the salt trial fields than in normal soils.

The aim of the study was to find the antioxidant activity and enzyme activity of catalase and peroxidase of vegetable plants. The results indicated that the use of seaweed liquid fertilizer can enhance the antioxidant activity of Solanum melongena L., Lycopersicon esculentum Mill., Capsicum annuum L., Brassica oleracea var. Capitata L. and Allium cepa L. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assays were used to determine the antioxidant properties of seaweeds by measuring the decrease in absorbance at 517 nm. The DPPH activity was highest in brown seaweed liquid fertilizer. This study implied that impacts on vegetable plantlets by seaweed liquid fertilizer extracted with enzymes is better in brown seaweed liquid fertilizer as compared to control.
