A lot of way to increase the plant growth and vermicomposting is one of them. Vermicompost is the type of fertilizer prepared by using waste and worms. Vermicompost is rich in nutrients, so provide good health to the plants without harming the soil quality. Farmers use various combination of vermicompost in the field according the soil type and crop plants. The present study is aimed to assess the effect of vermicompost and agricultural soil in different concentrations on the three common plant varietiesof Malwa region e.g., Gram (Cicerarietinum), Soybean (Glycine max), and Wheat (Triticumaestivum) in controlled and field conditions. Six different concentrations of vermicompost: agricultural soil (00:100, 20:80, 40:60, 60:40,80:20, and 100:00) was used for experiments respectively. Five seeds of each variety were used for each treatment in both controlled and field conditions. Results were tested for SD statistically. Results of the present study states that for all three crop plants the similar trends in terms of growth was observed. There was an increase in the growth at the 40:60 ratio of vermicompost and soil respectively. | Keywords : | | |
