Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to analyze and determine the effects of compost in plant growth. In this study four types of composts have been analyzed such as urea based co-co peat, effective microorganisms, vermicompost and kitchen waste. These samples were taken from Perandapalli, near Hosur, Tamilnadu. This study has analyzed the pH, soil salinity, organic matter and all the nutrients required for the growth of plants in these composts. N, P and K are the primary macronutrients which are highly recommended for maximum yield and growth. The final result showed that vermicompost had more nutrients available for the growth of the plants.
