To evaluate the impact of combining organic amendments, such as vermicompost and compost from different organic sources, with synthetic fertilizer on mung bean performance and soil fertility.
Conducted a two-year field experiment during 2020 and 2021 at the Student Research Farm in Faisalabad, Pakistan.
Tested seven nutrient management treatments: a synthetic fertilizer control (20:60 NP kg ha−1) versus combinations of 50% synthetic fertilizer with vermicompost or compost derived from farmyard manure, wheat straw, and rice straw.
Application of 50% vermicompost (derived from farmyard manure, wheat straw, or rice straw) combined with 50% recommended synthetic fertilizer yielded the highest crop outcomes.
Blends of 25% vermicompost, 25% compost, and 50% synthetic fertilizer produced intermediate agronomic performance.
The synthetic fertilizer control treatment exhibited the poorest crop performance and resulted in reduced soil fertility.
