Volume : III, Issue : IV, May - 2013 EFFECT OF VERMICOMPOST ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF EGGPLANT (Solanum melongena L.) D.JAGATHEESWARI DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The pot experiment was conducted with four treatments Control, 25 mgl-1, 50
mgl-1, and 100 mgl-1. The experimental results showed significant variations in plant
growth and yield on par with the physico-chemical properties of vermicompost. The
growth characters of brinjal such as plant height, number of leaves per plant were
observed at 20th day, 40th day and 80th day from the date of planting. The yield
parameters such as number of days for flowering, number of fruits per plant and fruit
length and width also showed similar trend of growth parameters. The investigation
clearly reveals that the biochemical properties of vermicompost play major role in
growth and development of egg plant. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : D.JAGATHEESWARI, (2013). EFFECT OF VERMICOMPOST ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF EGGPLANT (Solanum melongena L.).
