Evaluating the role of spirulina platensisas biofertilizer and biostimulant on trigonella foenum-graecum

The basic aim was to provide a series of mediato produceSpirulina platensis and evaluate the results in terms of chlorophyll content. Among all the media Zarrouk’s medium is more suitable for the growth of S.platensis. It is very well known that chemical fertilizer adversely affects soil, plant and environment. To reduce this effect in recent years, interest to organic farming has been increasing. In the present study, S.platensis is used as a biostimulant to enhance protein levels in Trigonella foenum-graecum. The protein content of the plant was estimated and the study results indicated that there was significant increase in protein. Also, the carbohydrate and lipid content of the plant was estimated. At the end, it is concluded that S.platensis which is a blue green alga can be helpful in agriculture as a biofertilizer and as a biostimulant when compared with chemical fertilizers as an enhancer of plant growth in terms of protein content.
