| Abstract: |
Pot experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with
three replication and six treatments in the screenhouse of Soil Science
Division, Khumaltar during the year 2003 and 2004. The objective of the
experiment was to find out the effect of vermicompost in combination with
or without soil and mineral fertilizers on the yield and other attributes of
chickpea. The results showed an encouraging effect of vermicompost
application on the plant height, root length and biomass dry weight of
chickpea when vermicompost was applied in equal ratio with soil (5 kg
each/pot) and 10:20:15 kg N: P2O5:K2O kg ha-1. Vermicompost with equal
ratio of soil (5 kg each/pot) also produced the highest mean grain yield of
10.6 gm per pot. However, no significant treatments effects were observed
for root length and straw weights of the chickpea. |
