ABSTRACT

This chapter evaluates the biochemical and food quality of okra grown under fertilizer treatment of seaweed and water hyacinth combination. It suggests further experiments to formulate various combinations of seaweed and Hyacinth to improve lady finger quality and quantity in different crop fields of India. The chapter discusses different sets of fertilizer like Hyacinth, Sargassum, Galaxaura and mixture of all these in different sets with autoclave or without autoclaved. The specimens of brown seaweed and red seaweed were collected from Mangrol coast of Gujarat, India. The specimen of water hyacinth was collected from river of Bedi village. Different combinations of seaweed and Hyacinth biofertilizers were made. Hyacinth, Sargassum, and Galax- aura solid fertilizers were applied in different combinations. The changes of different physiological characteristics and the selected parameters can get affected by algae fertilizers and Hyacinth. Different combinations of algae and Hyacinth have shown significant changes in shoot length, number of leaves, and number of fruits.
