Abstract

Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri (L.) Wettst.) has been recently studied extensively for using in the Ayurvedic system of medicine. The effects of organic fertilizers and chemical fertilizers on the growth and bacoside contents during the growth phase of the Brahmi plant were investigated. The aged plants of two weeks after propagation were treated with fertilizers consisting of organic fertilizer-swine manure extract (SME) and bat guano extract (BGE) and inorganic fertilizers (N-P-K: 46-0-0, 16-16-16 or 24-7-7) for 8 weeks. The soil application of SME was significantly elevated the fresh and dry weights, relative growth rate and the promotion of root numbers in plants compared to the chemical fertilizers. Plants growth using the chemical fertilizer treatments had the highest total bacoside and phenolic compounds contents, and the highest scavenging activity compared to the SME and BGE treatments. These results indicated to benefit in combining SME with chemical fertilizer for Brahmi yield enhancement. The results indicated an alternative, inexpensive method to improve the yield and pharmaceutical components of Brahmi plants.
