EFFECTIVENESS OF VERMICOMPOST FERTILIZER DOSAGE AND PLANTING SPACING ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF BEANS (PHASEOLUS VULGARIS L.)

The Indonesian people cultivate and consume a variety of legumes, including the beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). demand for commodities on market was rising every year, but there are still numerous challenges facing bean farmers today, issue employing chemical fertilizers applying them with wrong spacing. Vermicompost fertilizer correct spacing two methods improving growing technology that can be used to increase production. aim this study evaluate effects vermicompost dosage L.) growth yield. experimental garden at University Teuku Umar's Faculty Agriculture served as site study.
