The effect of Seaweed Liquid Fertilizer (SLF) of Dictyota dichotoma was tested at different concentrations (12.5%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) on growth and yield parameters of Abelmoschus esculantus. The seaweed extract was found effective in increasing the biomass, growth of roots and shoots, number of roots, leaves, flowers, and fruits, leaf area index, fruits length, fresh and dry weight of fruits, maturity time and yield. The findings of the present study showed that the low level of SLF enhances the growth and yield than that of higher concentration.
