Detection and Quantification of Some Plant Growth Regulators in a Seaweed-Based Foliar Spray Employing a Mass Spectrometric Technique sans Chromatographic Separation

Abstract: The sap expelled from the fresh harvest of Kappaphycus alvarezii , a red seaweed growing in tropical waters, has been reported to be a potent foliar spray. Tandem mass spectrometry of various organic extracts of the sap confirmed the presence of the plant growth regulators (PGRs) indole 3-acetic acid, gibberellin GA(3), kinetin, and zeatin. These PGRs were quantified in fresh state and after 1 year of storage by ESI-MS without recourse to chromatographic separation. Quantification was validated against HPLC da… Show more

“…Medium enrichment with seaweed extract in this study was able to stimulate the filament growth due to the presence of hormones and nutrients in seaweed extract as reported by Prasad et al (2010). K. alvarezii produced nutrients and hormones which have a function in the growth and survival rate of seaweed.…”

“…Prasad et al (2010) have demonstrated on detection the presence of a class of plant growth regulator auxin and cytokinin in the seaweed extract. Zodape et al (2008;2009) have taken advantage of this seaweed extract on okra plants and cultivation of wheat.…”

“…It also contains all the trace elements and plant growth hormones required by plant to enhance yield attributes (Latique et al, 2013). Seaweed liquid fertilizer contains micro and macro nutrient and growth promoters (Prasad et al, 2010). Several other mineral and trace elements are also reported to be present in seaweed, which are readily absorbed by plant and they control nutrient deficiency in the plants.…”
