Abstract
The productivity of two oil seed crops, sunflower and cotton, was stud ied as a function of cereal protein hydrolysate (CPH) application. Thi s resulted in an increase in their chlorophyll content by 13 +/- 1%, b iomass by 10-30% and a crop yield of 13-20%, reflecting energy-intensi ve requirements of oil seed crops. Besides affording increased product ivity, CPH spray promoted soil fertility, reduced soil erosion, mainta ined microbial flora and cumulatively served eco-friendly.
