ABSTRACT

In this comparative study. the growth rate of coriander seed (Coriandrum sativum) is observed by using DAP and vermicompost. In vermicompost soil, the plant height is 5 cm at the interval of 22nd day. In DAP, the plant height is 4 cm at the interval of 22nd day. Therefore, the growth of coriander seed in vermicompost is highest than the DAP manure. Vermicompost may show the good growth than DAP. Vermicompost soil shows more microbial activity resulting in additional nutrients for plant growth which ultimately resulting in more growth. Similarly, by adding DAP, it increases the soil pH and the plant could not give better growth. By using vermicompost the life of living beings can be saved and also increases the soil fertility.
