Effect of Vermicompost on Yield and Yield Components of Two Corn Cultivars

DOI: 10.22161/ijeab/1.3.21

Abstract:
This study was performed for evaluation of vermicompost Effect on yield and yield components of two corn cultivars. First factor included cultivars (S.C 704, B.C 666) and second factor included vermicompost treatments (control, 25, 50, 75 and 100%), also some properties were studied such as highest plant height, number of seeds,1000-seed weight, seed yield, biological yield, harvest index%.Totally, according to result, S.C 704 had best results and it treatment showed highest plant height (221.6 cm), number of seeds (773.4),1000-seed weight (150.46 g), seed yield (9.7 t ha-1), biological yield (19412 kg/h), harvest index% (50.36%). Between vermicomposttreatment, application of 75% led to 61, 43, 73, 65, 80 and 80 percentage of highest plant height, number of seeds, 1000-seed weight, seed yield, biological yield, harvest index% in compare to control.
