dc.description.abstractThe agroindustrial waste pressmud was composted and along with farmyard manure, gypsum and zinc sulphate was used for the study of seedling, vegetative parameters and yield of cowpea. The composted pressm ud significantly increased the seedling parameters namely length of epicotyls, hypocotyls, root length, number of lateral roots, plant fresh weight and plant dry weight. Gn the 30* Days After Sowing (DAS) the shoot length, plant I fresh weight and dry weight in Tj treatment (composted pressmud + farmyard manure) (14.10cm, 3.41g, 1.09g) were increased when compared to the control (8.41cm, 1.20g, 0.83g). On the 45* DAS shoot length was increased in (composted pressmud + farmyard manure). Root length (24.88 cm) number of leaves (10.66) and number of nodules were significantly increased in T^ (composted pressmud) treatment. The yield parameters length of pod and weight of pod (5.58cm, 0.35g respectively) were increased in Tj treatment (composted pressmud + farmyard manure) and number of seeds per pod (6.50) weight of seeds per pod (0.30g)were increased in T^ (composted pressmud + farmyard manure+ gypsum) treatment respectively. Hence from the present investigation it is clear that pressmud can be recycled and along with farmyard manure, gypsum and zinc sulphate. It can be used as a cheaper source of organic nutrient^ for plant growth.en_US
