Abstract
A pots plastic experiment was conducted in a plastic –house of the Faculty of
Science, Mustansiriyah University, to study the effect of three fertilizers (vermicompost, peat-moss and Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP)) levels on some
phenotypic characteristics (plant height, fresh and dry weight) and concentration
of nutrients (N, P, K and Ca), chlorophyll and protein of fenugreek according to
the complete randomized design with six replicates. The treatments consisted of
four levels of vermicompost (0, 6, 12 and 18g.pot-1
) and one level of both peatmoss(12g.pot-1
) and DAP(1g.pot-1
). The results showed significant differences
between different fertilizer levels on phenotypic characteristics and nutrient state.
Also, the highest value of some studied characteristics was found at treatment
12g.pot-1 of vermicompost.
Keywords: vermicompost, peat-moss, DAP and fenugreek.
