Abstract
To evaluate the effect of fungal mediated vegetable waste compost (FMVWC) on growth and yield components of Paddy, a field experiment was carried out in randomized block design with 3 replications. Various locally available organic manures like Celrich (Commercial product of Excel Crop Care Pvt. Ltd, Mumbai), FYM (Form Yard Manure), Vermi-Compost and Green manure (Glyricidia leaves) @10 t/ha were used in this study to compare with FMVWC. The treatments of organic fertilizers were given alone as well as supplemented with 25 percent of recommended dose (RD) of inorganic fertilizer for paddy-NPK (N=100, P=50, K=50 kg/ha). A simple control without any treatment and Chemical control (RD) was used as check. Growth and yield attributes were significantly increased in all the treatments over control. The maximum grain yield among only organic manure treatment was noted in block [C] applied with FMVWC @10 ton/ha. Plant treated with combination of organic manure and 20% chemical fertilizers (RD) were at par in compare to chemical control (RD) treatment. The treatment FMVWC+25% RD showed excellent result in all growth and yields attributes. An increase in the yield by FMVWC treatments was may be due to rich in nutrients, the compost (FMVWC) was prepared using vegetable refuse as the raw material. It contained good amount of nutrients supplied during the cultivation. When the refuse was subjected to composting by strong cellulose degrading fungi maximum amount of nutrients released and the same become available to the crop.
