Abstract :

In order to study the effects of vermicompost and seprator fertilizer on yield of wheat, an experiment was conducted at Safiabad Agricultural Research Center and Fadak Agricultural Research Station with T-Test design and 6 treatments during 2013- 2014. The experiment included 6 treatments (5 tonha-1 seprator + chemical fertilizer, 8 tonha-1 vermicompost, 3 tonha-1 vermicompost + chemical fertilizer, 7 tonha-1 vermicompost + chemical fertilizer, 3.5 tonha-1 vermicompost + 3.5 tonha-1 seprator + chemical fertilizer and Control (chemical fertilizer)). Results of the first experiment (Effect of vermicompost and seprator fertilizer on yield of wheat in Safiabad Agricultural Research Center) showed that any treatment were not significant difference with control treatment regarding to grain yield, although the third and the fifth treatments (4.71 and 4.78 ton. ha-1, respectively) had the highest grain yield. In this experiment, control treatment was the best treatment and it can be advised to the farmers. The results of second experiment (Effect of vermicompost and seprator fertilizer on yield of wheat in Fadak Agricultural Research Station) showed that the third treatment had significant difference at 1% probability level regarding to grain yield with control treatment and so it can be the best treatment (19.8% increase of yield than control).
