The images of algae used for the experiment. (a) Sargassum polycystum collected in Blue Lagoon, Port Dickson, (b) morphological detail of Sargassum polycystum, (c) Spirulina platensis obtained from AlgaeLiving and (d) cultured Spirulina platensis in Zarrouk’s medium.
The fresh weight (green line), dry weight (red line) and moisture content (blue line) of wax apple leaf after being treated with algal extracts at different concentrations. Repeated letters did not exhibit a significant difference in values (n = 5) at p < 0.05. A standard error of five replicates is represented by the error bars. Treatments are as detailed in Table 1.
The images of wax apple seedlings after treatment of S. platensis and S. polycystum extracts. Treatments are as detailed in Table 1.
The growth analysis of leaf of wax apple, (a) RGR, (b) SLW, (c) SLA and (d) LAI, after exposure to different concentrations of S. platensis and S. polycystum extracts. Repeated letters did not exhibit a significant difference in values (n = 5) at p < 0.05. A standard error of five replicates is represented by the error bars. Treatments are as detailed in Table 1.
AGR of (a) leaf weight, (b) leaf area, (c) leaf number and (d) plant height of wax apple seedling after exposure to different concentrations of S. platensis and S. polycystum extracts. Repeated letters did not exhibit a significant difference in values (n = 5) at p < 0.05. A standard error of five replicates is represented by the error bars. Treatments are as detailed in Table 1.
