Abstract

A nursery study was conducted to find out the effect of organic extract sprays on growth and biomass production of Casuarina seedlings. Among the extracts, spraying of vermicast and vermiwash type 1 exerted the maximum influence on all the growth parameters. Vermiwash type II was significantly superior to cowdung extract and control (water spray) but inferior to above two treatments.
