Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 12
Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluation of different vermicompost rates on the some quantitative and qualitative characteristics of Pelargonium hortorum . This experiment was conducted in the Islamic Azad University, Garmsar branch. Treatments of vermicompost rates included: 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. Also combine of control pot included: 25% cocopeat, 20% pulp tea, 10% rice straw and 45% garden soil. According to analysis of variance, treatments had significant effect on root dry weight, root length, dry weight of shoots, shoot length and flower diameter at 1% statistical probability. With regard to the comparison of treatments and control, 50% and 75% vermicompost treatments were the most effective treatments.
