The aim of this study was to assess the decomposition efficiency of earthworms, local (L.mauritii) as well as exotic (Eisenia foetida) in vermicomposting of garden litter in SRM University campus. The vermicompost produced through vermicomposting of garden litter mixed with cow dung in the ratio of 3:1 by using local and exotic earthworms (Eisenia foetida) was rich in ammoniacal nitrogen, nitra...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bio-fertilizers on growth and development of plants in pots containing (v) vermicompost and (m) cow manure: (soil amendments) and (s) garden soil separately and in combination. in the first experiment, treatments included s (control), sm (soil + 15%m + 0%v), smv10 (soil + 15%m + 10%v), and smv20 (soil + 15%m + 20%v) by dry weight (w/w). in the...

manure and putreseible garbage are some of the main sources of pathogenic germs in countryside’s. on the other hand, demand for fertilizer and energy increases in rural areas every day. to study potential of cow manure for these requirements a 16,5m3 pilot plant was designed and constructed as fermentation tank near animal husbandry of karaj agriculture faculty. some 260kg cow manure and water ...

: This study aims to determine the quality of compost a mixture Oyster Mushroom Baglog waste and Cow Manure, using Promi (Promoting Microbes), MA-11 (Microba Alfaafa-11), BPF (Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria) decomposers. The experiment was arranged in Completely Randomized Design (CRD), consisting 4 ( Four) treatments: P0 = Mushrooms Manure with ratio 1:2 without decomposers, P1 plus Promi, P2...

The ability of Steinernema carpocapsae to reduce damage to seedling corn by the black cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon, in soil amended with three fertilizers (fresh cow manure, composted manure, and urea) was determined. Total nitrogen was standardized among the fertilizers at 280 kg/ha and 560 kg/ha. Black cutworm damage was assessed by the percentage of cut corn plants in small field plots. Relative...

Sustainable agriculture can increase the efficiency of resource utilization, provide longer productivity and create a balance in the environment. A field experiment was conducted to study the use of organic and chemical fertilizers on biomass, essential oil content and essential oil yield as well as chemical compositions of Dracocephalum polychaetum Burnm in the first and second cutting. The tr...

Seed germination is the most important aspect for raising nursery successful seedling production of acid lime. The present study was carried out to explore effect different seed soaking treatment with growing media on and survivability lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle) under net house condition. experiments were laid as a Completely Randomized Design Factorial concept comprising twenty four co...
