Abstract

This paper deals with the study of Stoechospermum marginatum SLF and Halophila ovalis SGLF obtained by four different methods of extraction (low temperature, boiling, autoclave, alcohol-aqueous) on the growth and photosynthetic pigments of Vigna mungo seedlings. Autoclave and alcoholic methods of extraction were found to be the most effective, inducing seedling growth and photosynthetic pigments to maximum level. Since the SLFs and SGLFs obtained by alcohol aqueous method impacted seedling growth parameters to a greater extent, it is suggested that the afore said method could be followed for SLF and SGLF preparation and its application either for soaking the seeds of land crops, prior to sowing or as foliar spray or even for drenching the soil or all these practices.
