Abstract
An assessment was done to investigate the effect of farmyard manure, DAP, neem cake and leaf
extract on biochemical (viz., chlorophyll, protein and carbohydrate) parameters of paddy seedlings.
The biochemical parameters were measured on 30th and 45th day. The values indicated that the
chlorophyll 'a', chlorophyll `1,' and total chlorophyll contents were higher in T4 on 30th day and 45th
day. Similarly, the protein content was higher on 30th and 45th day in 0.5 ml extract of T4 plants. In 1
ml of sample, on 30th day, the protein content was higher in T1 and on 45th day, it was higher in T4.
The carbohydrate content of plants also increased in plants supplied with leaf extracts.
