ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECT OF CATTLE MANURE VERMICOMPOST ON BEAN HEIGHT AND POD COUNT IN THE GREENHOUSE POT EXPERIMENTS

The objective of the study was to assess the effect of cattle manure vermicompost on the bean height and pod count in the greenhouse pot experiments. An experimental research design was used to collect data on the effect of cattle manure vermicompost on the bean height and pod count in the greenhouse pot experiments. Analysis of variance was used to determine if there was a significant effect of cattle manure vermicompost on the bean height and pod count in the greenhouse pot experiments. The least significant difference was used for separation of significant means at α = 0.05. The study showed that the vermicompost significantly improved bean height and yields in greenhouse pot experiments (p < 0.05). At 40% of cattle manure vermicompost amendment, the plant had maximum height (59.6 to 67.3 cm) and the highest number of pods (31.24 to 34.22). Therefore, cattle manure vermicompost should be used in common bean production to boost growth and yield.
