Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Organic farming is a method of farming system aimed at cultivating the land and raising crops, as to keep the soil alive and in good health by use of organic wastes. The usage of techniques in organic farming achieve good crop yields without harming the natural environment. Organic farming uses fertilizers, pesticides plant growth regulators etc. From the present study different types of composts are used to determine which compost is more influenced by the growth and yield of the crop. This work consists of vegetative growth of Amaranthus tricolor L. in different composts. Growth of Amaranthus was tested in control, in coir pith, in potting mixture and also in vermicompost. Shoot length, width, leaf length and leaf breadth were measured. The vegetative growth of Amaranthus is maximum in vermicompost when compared to potting mixture, coir pith and control.
