Abstract:

In this study, Azolla extract of different concentrations (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%) was treated in Bhendi seeds, and results were obtained. Among these (T4 – 40%) showed better results with a higher rate of germination (90%), Root length (6cm), Shoot length (18.5cm), and seedling vigour (18.37). A control solution without biofertilizer extract was prepared. The Bhendi variety (Arka anamika) was used for this experiment. Azolla spp strain was grown in pit size of 6.5*1.3m and extract was collected, and used for further analysis. The experiment was conducted at the College of Agricultural Technology, Theni. A completely randomized design (CRD) with 7 Treatments and 3 Replications was followed.
