A field experiment was conducted in the research farm of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Marathwada University, Aurangabad to assess the performance of weed vermicomposts on yield and nutrient uptake of maize. The experimental design was a randomized block design (RBD) with five treatments and four replicates. The treatments were Parthenium vermicompost (PV), Cassia vermicompost (CV), Ipomea vermicompost (IV), Fertilizer (FE) and control (CO). The fodder maize (cv. African Tall) was planted at the rate of 100 kg ha-1. The fertilizers were supplied in the form of N, P2O5 and K2O at the rate of 120:80:40 kg ha-1. The observations were recorded on morph-physiological traits at 65 DAS. On the basis of results obtained, it is concluded that the combination of Cassia vermicompost (CV) and chemical fertilizers is ideal manure enhancing growth, nutrient uptake and productivity of maize crop as compared to Parthenium hysterophorus, Ipomea carnea Fertilizer and control plots.
