ABSTRACT

An experiment was conducted on the campus of Women’s Christian College, Chennai during May- June 2022 to evaluate the effect of Spirulina platensis as a biofertilizer to enhance the growth of fenugreek. The experiment was conducted with five treatments viz Control, Macronutrients (NPK), Micronutrients, foliar application of Spirulina and seeds coated with Spirulina following completely randomized complete block design with three replications. The foliar application of Spirulina platensis and seeds coated with Spirulina showed an increase in yield as compared to Control. The efficacy of the treatment proved that Spirulina platensis is a suitable bio stimulant for safe and organic crops.
