Abstract
Result revealed that highly significant effect of seaweed extract application was observed in terms of plant weight at 30, 45 and 60 days after transplanting, plant height and length of root growth at 45 and 60 DAT. Width of the leaves were significantly differed at 30 and 45 days after transplanting. For nutrient uptake, T2 (10 ml liter LSE: 1 liter of water) had the highest N, P, and K content compared to other treatments based on plant tissue analysis. However, different concentrations of liquid seaweed extract were significantly affected the length and number of leaves at 30, 45 and 60 days after transplanting.
