A field experiment was conducted to investigate effects of four organic manure sources (vermicompost, poultry manure, sheep & goat manure and cattle FYM) on growth and yield attributing characters of garlic in greenhouse condition during extreme winter months (October to May) at Leh-Ladakh, India with three application rates of organic manures viz. 10, 20 and 30 tons ha-1. The results revealed ...

introduction: vermicompost is one of the important bio-fertilizer which is the product of the process of composting different organic wastes such as manures and crop residues using different earthworms. vermicomposts, especially those are derived from animal wastes,contain the large amounts of nutrients compaired with the composts prepared from crop residues. vermicomposts contain plant availab...

Coriander is an important spice crop grown through out the world. As organic manures tend to reduce cost of cultivation and supplement with essential nutrients for growth development plant hence present study effect different fertilizers their doses on nutrient uptake in coriander variety JD-1 was conducted at Horticulture complex, Department Horticulture, JNKVV, Jabalpur (M.P.) year 2011-2012....

This study aimed to analyze and quantify the effect of different ratios vermicompost, phosphate rock, sulfur on P solubilization release by Pseudomonas fluorescens Ur21, identify optimal levels those variables for an efficient biofertilizer. Twenty experiments were defined surface response methodology based a central composite design (CCD), effects various quantities (encoded −1, 0, or +1) was ...

Soil applications with poultry refuse, cocodust, vermicompost, ash, sawdust, khudepana, cowdung, solarized sand, Trichoderma harzianum and or with seed treatment by T. harzianum were evaluated against damping off disease complex of potato and chilli. All the treatments significantly reduced percent damping off over control. T. harzianum treated seed along with soil treatment with T. harzianum p...

It is known that in vermicomposting soil layer in bedding of the reactor helps in earthworm biomass growth and reproduction but growth is influenced by soil characteristics such as texture, pH, and water holding capacity. The present study was conducted to asses the influence of soils on earthworm biomass growth and reproduction during the vermicomposting of source separated human faeces. The s...

Field experiment was conducted during 2003-04 to study the effect of vermicompost, farmyard manure and water hyacinth compost in comparison to chemically fertilized and unfertilized plots on crop-plants in HYV Swarna and local variety Magaisal. The experiment followed split plot design with two varieties of rice in the main plots and fi ve nutrient sources randomized in sub plots. Signifi cant ...

in order to investigate the effects of vermicompost and chemical fertilizers on growth characteristics, yield and yield components of marshmallow (altheaeofficinalis l.), a field experiment was conducted as factorial layout based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during growing season of 2012. experimen...
