Abstract
- A two-year experiment was conducted at Student Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad (31.4533° N, 73.0585° E) during 2020 and repeated in 2021 for the accuracy of the results. The treatments were T0 Control (recommended fertilizers at 20:60 NP kg ha−1), T1: 50% of recommended vermicompost (FYM) + 50% of recommended fertilizers, T2: 25% of recommended vermicompost (FYM) + 25% of recommended compost (FYM) + 50% of recommended fertilizers, T3: 50% of recommended vermicompost (wheat straw) + 50% of recommended fertilizers, T4: 25% of recommended vermicompost (wheat straw) + 25% of recommended compost (wheat straw) + 50% of recommended fertilizers, T5: 50% of recommended vermicompost (rice straw) + 50% of recommended fertilizers and T6: 25% of vermicompost (rice straw) + 25% of recommended compost (rice straw) + 50% of recommended fertilizers. It was concluded from this study that 50% vermicompost (produced from FYM, rice and wheat straw) mixed with 50% recommended fertilizers showed excellent results. 25% vermicompost (produced from FYM, rice and wheat straw) and 25% compost (produced from farmyard manure, rice straw and wheat straw) mixed with 50% recommended fertilizers showed intermediate results, whereas control showed minimum results in the mungbean crop and soil fertility decreased in the T0 treatment.
