Nutrients deficiency is a major threat against maize growth. The effects of nutrients can be
mitigated by vermicompost, vermi-tea and chemical fertilizers. With the objective to combat the nutrients
deficiency, an experiment was conducted in Riverm Kompost Vermikompost Tarım Hay. Mak. San. ve Ltd. Şti.
Suleymanpasa, Tekirdag, Turkey under field conditions. In field four different states of fertilizers [F0
: Control
(No fertilizer application); Fvc: Solid vermicompost @ 5 ton/ha; Fvt: vermi-tea @ 6 %; Fc
: Chemical fertilizers
(N and P) @ 120-100 kg/ha were applied in maize hybrid P30B74. The plants were harvested 45 days after
sowing and the evaluation was done on the basis of various morphological (root length, shoot length, root
fresh weight, shoot fresh weight, root dry weight, shoot dry weight, number of leaf, leaf length, stem girth) and
physiological parameters (relative water contents (RWC), chlorophyll contents and membrane stability index
(MSI)). The obtained results indicated that vermi-fertilizers and chemical fertilizer significantly increased all
of the above said parameters of maize as compared to control but foliar application of 6% vermi-tea treatment
showed maximum morphological and physiological performance of maize.
