| Details of Innovation | About 100 g of marine algae is soaked in 1 L of water for 12 hrs. Then the mixture is gently heated for 45 minutes and allowed to cool. The mixture is diluted in 40 L of water and sprayed on the crop. The spray benefits to the crop. Germination is quickened when the seeds are treated with the solution. Application of grinded marine algae mixed with organic manure is found to be beneficial. |
