Abstract: The aim of the study was to compare the effect of vermicompost, compost, foliage mix and urea on the growth of selected plants. In our investigation two earthworm species Eisenia foetida and Eudrilus eugeniae converted leaf litter into vermicompost. Household kitchen waste converted to compost was also used. Foliage mix and urea were procured from the local market.. The efficacy of the potting mixtures on plant growth was evaluated. The effect of vermicompost leachate on the growth of onion root tips was also observed.
Keywords: Vermicompost, vermicompost leachate, Pit compost, foliage mix, urea.
