Effect of Bacterical Compost on the germination of Green gram (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek)

Organic farming is the need of the hour to sustain Agriculture. Organic manure and Organic fertilizer not only improves the quality of the Soil but also control all types of Pollution. There are several organic resources available for growing plants such as Natural Compost (Cow dung), Vermicompost, Panchakavyam, Fish Amino acid etc. The present investigation aimed to study the effect of new compost obtained from decomposing sugarcane leaf waste by using Bacteria obtained from cashew nut shell waste and groundnut shell waste processing sites, on the germination of green gram Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek, which has been compared with Natural compost, Vermicompost and Inorganic Fertilizer and control. The study revealed that the bacterial compost was more effective in bringing about germination and seedling growth compared to vermicompost, Natural compost and Inorganic Fertilizer. Poor results were observed in Inorganic fertiliser treatment
