Pot marigold, member of family Asteraceae, is an annual plant. Healthy vigorous
transplants will be less susceptible to insects, diseases and transplant shock leading
to better crop performance. Formulating growing mixtures is especially challenging.
vermicompost has a high mineral nutrient content. An experiment was carried out in
a completely randomized design with three replications to evaluate the effects of
cow manure vermicompost rates (10%, 20%, 30% and 40%) in growing medium on
growth of pot marigold transplants. The maximum of shoot fresh weight, shoot dry
weight, root fresh weight and root dry weight were achieved on 40% vermicompost
rate.
