EFFECT OF VERMICOMPOST ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF EGGPLANT (Solanum melongena L.)

D.JAGATHEESWARI

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.
