The aim is to compare the impact of different types of vermicompost on soybean growth, nodule formation, and yield.
Conducted in a glasshouse at College of Agriculture, Hawassa University.
Utilized twelve types of vermicompost and a control in a randomized block design.
Evaluated soybean variety Nyala with destructive sampling for parameters.
Measured growth, nodule formation, and yield-related outcomes.
Vermicompost significantly improved soybean growth and yield compared to control.
Vermicompost increased leaf area by 7 to 62%.
Highest yield from vermicompost made of common bean straw and coffee husk, surpassing control by 28% (biomass) and 60% (grain).
Nodule counts and weights were significantly lower with vermicompost use.
