A study was conducted for a period of 60 days on the effect of partly decomposed Ipomoea carnea, sheep droppings and Pongamia pinnata leaves on the growth and yield of rose flowers. The ratios of total nodes, leaves and flowers of rose raised in the respective organic manures were 107:456:26, 91:339:20 and66:302:18. Of the three organic manures used in the rose cultivation, the manure prepared from Ipomoea carnea showed better results over the manures derived from sheep droppings and Pongamia pinnata leaves, though all of them have high nutrients. From the current result, it is inferred that the organic materials used have a positive role in the growth and yield of rose as revealed by increased values, though a differential effect was noticed in the said manures.Keywords

The rate of cocoon production of adult epigenic earthworm, Eisenia fetida kept in the 0,25,50,75 and 100 PSR (Percent Substrate Ratio) media prepared from partly decomposed sheep droppings waste with soil for 30 days was determined. The worms kept in 50, 75, and 100 PSR media for 30 days showed a gradual increase in their body weight up to 22 days thereafter, a gradual decline until the termination of this study. However, the worms kept in the same media (50, 75 and 100 PSR) after 30 days showed an increased value in their body weight over their respective initial weight. On the contrary, all the worms kept in 0 and 25 PSR media showed a gradual decrease in their body weight until the termination of this study. The worms kept in soil alone for 30 day though showed 100% survival value, only 2 cocoons were laid during the course of study due to less organic matters in the medium. Though the worms kept in their PSR media for 30 days produced relatively more cocoons. Than the control, the worms in 75 PSR sheep droppings medium is considered to be a good medium for the culture of earthworm, Eisenia fetida.Keywords

On the contrary, all the worms kept in 0 and 25 PSR media showed a gradual decrease in their body weight until the termination of this study. The worms kept in soil alone for 30 days produced only 5 cocoons for the entire course of the study due to less organic matters in the medium. The worms in the PSR media for 30 days produced relatively more cocoons. Though than control, the worms in 75 PSR Adhatoda vasica leaves medium is considered to be a good medium for the culture of earthworm, Eudrilus eugeniae.Keywords
