Abstract

Seaweeds gain importance recently in agriculture as several studies have shown that chemicals extracted from seaweeds are used as soil amendments to increase crop yield. We report here the positive effects of brown seaweed Sargassum wightii on paddy when applied as mulch during transplantation trials carried out in a progressive farmer’s field.
