Popis: Arthrospira platensis (Spirulina) is multi-cellular and filamentous Cyanobacteria which is used as a biofertilizer in agriculture sector for their potential role in food safety and sustainable crop production. The eco-friendly approaches inspire a wide range of application of plant growth promoting ectomycorrhizal fungi, cyanobacteria and many other useful microscopic organisms led to improved nutrient uptake, plant growth and plant tolerance to abiotic and biotic stress. In this present study, Arthrospira platensis is used as bio-fertilizer to evaluate soil fertility and growth of Trigonella foenum- graecum(Fenugreek). Objective: To analyze the prior application of S. platensis as biofertilizer on soil bag containing Trigonella foenum- graecum (Fenugreek) seeds and to compare its effect with subsequent soil bags treated with other organic fertilizers such as Cow dung manure and panchagavya. Methods: In plant biochemical analysis, the plants which supplemented with S. platensis bio fertilizer showed significant increased level in chlorophyll and carotenoids contents. Soil fertility parameters (OC %, available N, P and K, EC and pH) analyzed after plant harvest registered significant improvement over the values than before. Conclusion: From the study it was concluded that among all the different variations and combinations of S. platensis treated plants shows an improvement in the soil physico-chemical properties and enhances plant growth.
