The primary function of pigments in plants is photosynthesis, which uses the green pigment chlorophyll along with several red and yellow pigments that help to capture as much light energy as possible. The concentration of the pigments present in plants decides the photosynthetic efficiency of the same. The present study aims at understanding the effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the concentration of pigments in A.caudatus and A.tricolor. The work puts light into the photosynthetic efficiency of the species and suggests which type of fertilizer could improve the pigment concentration of the species.
