A total of sevenpotting media were prepared containing soil, cow dungvermicompost and cow dung ? house hold waste vermicompost.The fertility status of soil and vermicomposts wasquantified. In these media, growth and flowering of marigoldplant seedlings was studied for 60 days.Results The results showed that the vermicompostingprocess converted the cow dung and household waste into ahighly stabilized product having C:N ratio20.0. The NPKcontent of vermicomposts was higher than soil. The plantgrown in vermicompost-containing potting media had 2.3times more plant height than control. Results showed thatthe addition of vermicompost, in appropriate quantities, topotting media has significantly positive effects on growthand flowering of marigold seedlings including plant biomass,plant height, number of buds and flowers.Conclusions It was concluded that addition of vermicompost,in appropriate quantities, to potting media hassynergistic effects on growth and yield of marigold.
