The effect of vermicompost and vermifoliar on growth and related characteristics of fine bean ( phaseolus vulgaris)

Recently, there is increasing worldwide use of vermicompost, which are products of a non-thermophilic biodegradation of organic materials through interactions between earthworms and microorganisms as plant growth media and soil amendments. Vermicompost processed commercially from food waste and paper were applied to 3.6m2 filled plots, at 2.5 t ha-1 to evaluate their effects on growth and yield of fine bean at Horticulture Research Institute . The vermicompost were incorporated into the top 10cm of soil whilst vermifoliar was drenched into the soil at dilution rate of 1:10.
