Effect of Vermiwash and Vermicompost on an Ornamental Flower, Zinnia sp.

Abstract

Vermiwash and vermicompost were used in different doses to study their effect on the growth and flowering of an ornamental flower, Zinnia sp. The combination of vermicompost and vermiwash showed maximum positive effects on the growth and flowering of Zinnia sp. compared to either vermicompost alone or vermiwash alone. This study also indicated that vermiwash and vermicompost could be utilized effectively for sustainable plant production at low input-basis green farming.
