  Agriculture sector is observing a rise in the usage of organic fertilizers that are prepared from waste generated in farm, kitchen and other agro-industries. We studied the influence of 4 liquid organic manures (OM) on the germination of egg plant and coriander seeds. These organic fertilizers were prepared by using raw materials that are readily available in the fields and nearby sugar industry, thus providing the farmers with an option for preparation of cheap organic. Microbial analysis of these OM showed a rich microbial consortia comprising of nitrogen fixers, phosphate solubilizers, Lactobacilli, altogether providing enhancement in plant growth. In this study, we tested the efficacy of these OM on seed germination in red-, black- soil and coco peat. Application of OM resulted in improved seed germination for egg plant seeds. But we did not observe any significant effect for cori.. Read More»
