Abstract
The application of vermicompost to improve the physical properties of soils is a promising technology to meet the requirements of high plant growth and cost-effective recovery. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the comparative effect of different proportion of vermicom post and cattle dung mixed soil on Triticum astivum (Wheat) and Faciolus mungo (Urad) Plant. Different growth parameters viz. germination studies, plant length, dry weight and photosynthetic pigment were analyzed. In the present investigation highest germination percentage, plant length,dry weight of root /shoot and chlorophyll-carotenoid percentage were recorded in 50% soil treated with vermicompost and cattle dung than control soil and other proportions. It has also found that all the selected growth parameters of both Wheat and Urad plant showed significant improvement in vermicompost treated soil than cattle dung treated soil. The present investigation clearly revealed that the addition of vermicompost to soil greatly enhanced the yield in Wheat and Urad plant
