It was observed that growth and yield of mustard in treatment N80P60K40 vermicompost @ 10 t/ha was maximum. Maximum plant height (139.22 cm), number of leaves/plant (21.22), number of branches/plant (10.77), fresh weight/plant (87.78 g), dry weight/plant (62.25 g), test weight (4.17 g) and total seed yield (23.19 q/ha) were found to be significant over all other treatments.
