Abstract
This study, conducted at the Organic Research Farm, Centurion University, examined the effects of organic and inorganic treatments on the growth of green gram (PU31) and black gram (Pant mung 5) seeds. The seeds were subjected to treatments of vermicompost, urea, and a combination of both, along with a control group. The results showed that vermicompost significantly improved germination rates, with green gram achieving 88% and black gram 92%. Root growth was also enhanced, with green gram showing 6.2 cm and black gram 5.5 cm at 20 days after germination. Both species exhibited stronger seedling growth and higher drought resilience under vermicompost treatment, with lower mortality rates as compared to the inorganic promoters. The findings highlight the positive impact of organic fertilizers, particularly vermicompost, on seed germination, root development, seedling growth, and drought resistance, supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
