“…The cyanobacterial biomass when incorporated in the soil conserved organic matter, phosphorus, moisture and improves the chemical and physical structure of the soil [18,19,22]. Amther [20] has calculated that only 61%-77% of carbon available from photosynthesis can be retained during lignin utilization.…”

KEYWORDS:Growth promoting ability of coirpith based cyanobacterial (CB + CP) basal and foliar biofertilizer application on Hibiscus esculentus was evaluated. Scrutiny of varying concentration of foliar spray revealed that 30% of foliar along with basal induced maximum growth and yield. The present investigation results were well supported by comparison of morphological and biochemical parameters in all the plants. The results indicated the presence of plant growth promoting substances in coir pith basal and foliar biofertilizer.Oscillatoria annae; Coirpith; biofertilizer; foliar spray and Hibiscus esculentus.

“…The calyx and flower diameter increased with the application of amino acid compounds and the best treatment for these traits was the application of 2 L.ha -1 fosnutren. These results are in according to Christopher et al (2007) on Basella rubra L. An increase in yield and growth parameters is proven to be feasible by using amino acids. Therefore, a supply of nutritious sources to form protein tissue is essential (El-Tantawy, 2009).…”

Pansy (Viola tricolor L.) is from the Violaceae family that is planted in the gardens as a ground cover for early spring color and medicinal herb. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of bio-stimulant compounds on the growth traits and macro-elements content of pansy. This experiment was conducted on the basis of randomized complete blocks design (RCBD) with nine treatments and three replications. The treatments included the commercial formulations of aminolforte, kadostim, fosnutren, humiforte (each of them at 2 and 4 L.ha -1 ), and control treatment. The effects of treatments were significant (p≤0.01) on all of the traits except for the plant height, collar diameter of stem and total dry weight. The greatest amount of the stem diameter (5.01 mm) and number of leaves (44 leaves.plant -1 ) in 2 L.ha -1 aminolforte treatment, calyx and flower diameter (7.25 and 48.22 mm) in the treated plants by 2 L.ha -1 fosnutren was obtained. The highest number of flowers (26 flowers.plant -1 ) in 2 L.ha -1 humiforte and total fresh weight (34.90 g.plant -1 ) in the treatment of 2 L.ha -1 kadostim was observed. The maximum amount of SPAD value (49.81 SPAD) with 2 L.ha -1 humiforte, nitrogen (3.44%) in the foliar application of 4 L.ha -1 aminolforte, phosphorous (0.28%) in 4 L.ha -1 fosnutren and potassium (4.38%) in 4 L.ha -1 humiforte was achieved. The least amount of all traits was recorded in control treatments. The growth traits and macro-elements content of pansy plants increased due to foliar application of bio-stimulants compounds.

“…These results are in accordance with the inoculation with certain plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria may enhance crop production either by making the other nutrients available or protecting plant from pathogenic microorganism (allelopathic effects) (Goel et al, 1999). The combined effect of basal and foliar application of coir pith based cyanobacterial biofertilizers had positive impact on the growth of Basella rubra L. (Christopher et al, 2007). Similarly, the biochemical parameters of Aloe barbadensis such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll, carotenoids, sugars and free amino acids contents were increased by cyanopith 890 and cyanospray fertilizers.…”

Biofertilizers are eco friendly and are now most, necessary to support developing organic agriculture and sustainable agriculture. They can provide to the small and marginal farmers an ecofriendly viable weapon to attain the ultimate goal of increasing crop productivity. Cyanobacteria also called blue green algae which are useful to mankind in various ways and constitute a vast potential resource in varied application such as food, feed, fuel, fertilizer, medicine, industrial products and in combating pollution. Coir pith, a light lignocellulosic material which is spongy, highly hygroscopic and extremely compressive having high lignin content, accumulated in tons creating environmental problems. Hence, recycling the waste by using cyanobacteria in order to get pollution free environment and useful products from coir pith will be an economical and purposeful one. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different amount of coir pith based cyanobacterial biofertilizers named cyanopith individually on the morphological and biochemical characteristics as well as yield of Aloe barbadensis Miller (Aloe vera). The pot experiment was conducted at the Model Organic Farm of Bharathidasan University located in Tamilnadu, India. Different treatments of cyanopith (Solid form) fertilizer viz., cyanopith 25g, 50g, 75g, 100g, 125g and 150 g/pot, and the plants without any treatment were considered as control. It was observed that the plant appeared maximum height, number of leaves and leaf weight, leaf breadth, number of offsets and significant improvement in gel and latex yield, as well as Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, carotenoids, free amino acids and sugar contents were found to be improved with 100g cyanopith over control. Hence, it revealed that 100g of cyanopith fertilizer was the optimum concentration for maximum improvement of the plant characteristics and yield of A. barbadensis Miller.
