Influence of Fermented Cocopeat on Seedling Vigour in some Vegetables, Marigold and Pigeon Pea

Seedlings of four solanaceous, two cruciferous, five cucurbitaceous vegetables, and, marigold and pigeon pea were grown in pro-trays filled with 'Arka Fermented' coco-peat or on conventional raised bed. Seedlings grown on raised bed were superior in all the crops excepting capsicum. Pigeon...
