Abstract Plants have to deal with a lot of environmental stressors. Biofertilizer has been identified as an alternative way for these problems. Kelp is a wonderful soil amendment and a big advantage of these that we can spray them directly onto plant leaves for direct leaf uptake. The main benefit of Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer (SLF) is the natural plant growth regulators and hormones it contains that help plants grow faster, healthier and stronger. One of the main things they do is help plants deal with those environmental stressors such as heat, cold, wind, drought and disease. The bio-fertilizing efficiency of Seaweed Liquid Fertilizers from brown marine alga Sargassum myriocystum on growth and biochemical parameters of Vigna mungo (Black gram) and Vigna radiata (Green gram) was studied. Seaweeds were made to coarse powder and stock solution was prepared. Different concentrations such as 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% were prepared and used as foliar spray. Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer (SLF) at low concentration (2%) exhibited promoting effect.
