| Abstract | For study effects of vermicompost application and nitrogen fertilizer rates on fruit yield and several attributes of eggplant, an experiment in factorial format based on randomized complete block design with three replications in Astaneh Ashrafiyeh Township (north of Iran) in 2011 farming year was conducted. Factors of experiment was consisted of vermicompost application in three levels of (V. control (without vermicompost 1 application), V. 3 t/ha and V. 6 t/ha vermicompost application) and nitrogen fertilizer rates with four levels of 23 (N. control (no nitrogen fertilizer), N. 25 kg/ha, N. 50 kg/ha and N. 75 kg/ha pure nitrogen from source of urea 1 23 4 (46% pure nitrogen)). In maturity time, fruit yield, number of fruits per plant, fruit length and plant height were measured. Results showed that, the effects of vermicompost application and nitrogen usage on all studied traits were significant at 1% probability level. Also, interaction effect of vermicompost and nitrogen on plant height at 1% and on fruit yield and number of fruits per plant at 5% was significant, but on fruit length was non significant. Between vermicompost levels the highest fruit yield was recorded from V treatment with 33.43 t/ha. 3 The maximum fruit yield between nitrogen fertilizer levels was found from N treatment with 35.03 t/ha. Between 4 interaction effect levels, the V N treatment with 41.44 t/ha was recorded as highest fruit yield. 34 |
