Marine sea weeds are frequently regarded as biofertilizer, soil conditioner and generally exploits as promoter in healthier crop production because algae have a lots of plant growth- boosting compounds. Present study inclusively showed a variable effect of different seaweed concentration in two important staple food crops Lens culinaris (Black Masoor) and Phaseolusmungo (Green Mung). Analysis of data revealed that two seaweed species Sargassum and Sapthoglossum in the form of organic fertilizer, regarding stimulator of seed germination and growth parameters (shoot) index as well as enhancer of biochemical attributes of both pulses. Highest growth rate in both leguminous species were observed treated with 3gm and 6 gm of seaweed dried organic fertilizer. And the lowest growth index was found at 12gm, 15gm and 19gm of seaweed fertilizer. Therefore results showed that 3gm and 6 gm treatment were more suitable for plant growth as compared to other treatments.
