- Abstract
- The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of two seed dressing methods: earthworm poop tea and Celest Top, a commercial artificial seed dressing. Earthworm poop tea, a natural and organic fertilizer, enriches soil health and supplies essential nutrients for plant growth. Celest Top, a synthetic seed dressing, contains predetermined nutrients and growth stimulants. The experiment will involve treating seeds with either method before planting them in a natural setting. The experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design. Genstat software 7th addition was used in the analyses of the results. The results will offer insights into the potential advantages of natural fertilizers versus synthetic products in fostering plant growth and development. In general Celest top perform better than earthworm poop tea in in growth of field beans.
