Abstract:

The present study was made to the effect of different concentrations of sodium chloride (NaCl) with the application of vermicompost on germination and biochemical constituents of Arachis hypogaea L. The germination study was conducted with various concentrations of NaCl (mM) with vermicompost (%) (0, 10, 25, 50, 10mM+5%, 25mM+10%, 50mM+25% and 100%VC) and the data were assessed 25th day after germination. The photosynthetic pigment, carotenoid, protein and starch content decreased with increasing concentration of NaCl upto 50mM and increase in addition with vermicompost. The maximum increase in this shown in 50 mM + 25%VC. The accumulation of Macro and micro nutrient content increased at extreme level of 100%VC but in NaCl stress with application of vermicompost the nutrient contents increase upto 50 mM + 25%VC.
