Abstract: Vermicomposting is a process of manuring with the organic decomposition products produced by earthworms and related microbes. Vermicompostis considered better compost compare to chemical compost due to its biocompatible composition. Thepresent study deals with the effects of vermicompost on growth, plant components and also the morphological characteristics of the Fenugreek (Trigonellafoenumgroecum) plant. The seedlings were grown on various composition of the vermicompo stringing from 20% – 100% with soil. The morphological properties and physical analysis indicated a proportionate positive variation with regards to different concentration.
Keywords: Vermicompost, Trigonellafoenumgroecum, germination, Thermophilic, plant growth, morphological analysis.
