A field experiment was carried out at Avinashilingam Institute for Home Science and Higher Education for Women, Coimbatore for assessing the effect of composted coirpith, composted pressmud, farmyard manure and NPK on vegetative and yield parameters of green gram (Vignaradiata L.). On 25th day after sowing a significant increase in ischolar_main length in T2(composted coirpith), shoot length in T5(NPK 100%), number of leaves in T7(composted pressmud+50%NPK), number of nodules inT4(FYM), fresh weight inT10(composted pressmud+25%NPK) and dry weight in T11(FYM + 25%NPK) was noted. On 45thday an increase in ischolar_main length in T10(composted pressmud+25%NPK),shoot length in T6(composted coirpith + 50%NPK), number of leaves in T3(composted pressmud ), number of nodules in T4(FYM), number of flowers in T8(FYM + 50%NPK), fresh weight in T8(FYM + 50%NPK), dry weight in T8(FYM + 50%NPK) was observed. On 55th day a significant increase in ischolar_main length in T5(NPK 100%), shoot length in T3(composted pressmud), number of nodules in T3(composted pressmud ), number of fruits in T6 (composted coirpith + 50%NPK), fresh weight and dry weight in T12(composted coirpith + composted pressmud + FYM) was observed. There was an increase in yield parameters number of pods/plant was increase in T11(FYM +25%NPK), length of pods in T10(composted pressmud + 25%NPK),weight of pods in T10(composted pressmud+25%NPK), number of seeds / pod in T5(NPK 100%), weight of seeds/pod in T8(FYM + 50%NPK), pods fresh weight in T10(composted pressmud +25%NPK) and pods dry weight in T2(composted coirpith). The positive effect obtained from composted coirpith, composted pressmud and farmyard manure in this study favour the recycling of agrowastes for sustainable crop production.
