Vermicompost, a nutrient-rich organic material produced through the decomposition of organic waste by earthworms, has been widely recognized as a beneficial soil amendment for plant growth. This study aims to investigate the effect of different ratios of vermicompost soil on mung bean (Vigna radiata) seed germination.

The experiment was carried out in pots kept in plant physiology laboratory of Bareilly College, Bareilly.

The seeds of Vigna radiata were purchased from local seed shopkeeper at collectorate region of Bareilly Uttar- Pradesh. The variety SML668, Chetak was taken to conduct the experiments. Vermicompost was purchased from IVRI (Indian Vaterinary Research Institute) located at Izzatnagar, Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh state.

A randomized controlled experiment was conducted, utilizing three different ratios of vermicompost soil mixed with regular potting soil 0% vermicompost (control group), 25% vermicompost, 50% vermicompost, and 75% vermicompost. Each treatment was replicated one time, resulting in a total of six experimental units. Mung bean seeds were sown in each

unit, and the germination process was monitored after a period of 24, 48 and 72 hrs.

The results revealed a significant effect of the vermicompost soil ratio on mung bean seed germination. The control group, consisting of 0% vermicompost, exhibited an average germination rate of 65%, while the 25% vermicompost ratio showed an average germination rate of 72%. The 50% and 75% vermicompost ratios exhibited average germination rates of

78 % and 88 %, respectively.
