Effect of biofertilizer, vermicompost and chemical fertilizer on different biochemical parameters of arachis hypogaea l.

The objective of any agricultural research program is to increase the level of crop productivity. The strategy to boost the level of cropproductivity would be through the adoption of package of practices comprising use of seeds of high yielding varieties, adequate doses of manures and fertilizers and plant protection chemicals. Seed germination is one of the important factors for progressive farming. In the present investigation, the effect of plant fertilizers on growth and productivity of Arachis hypogaea were studied at the various concentrations of fertilizers. We used Biofertilizer (B), Vermicompost (V), Chemical fertilizer (C) and combination of these three. It was found that, the seed germination percentage was high in Vermicompost treated soil in Arachis hypogaea. Groundnut protein content was found high in B+C treated soil, while carbohydrate and phenol content increased in B+V treatedsoil. High seed germination was observed in vermicompost treated soil.
