Abstract
The present study examined the effects of organic and inorganic fertilizers on germination percentage, shoot length and root length, whole plant fresh and dry weight of sunflower plants. There are four sources of organic fertilizer: Agricultural waste compost, market waste compost, paper waste compost and their combined treatment. While, N,P,K and their combination treatments were used as the source of inorganic fertilizers. The results observed that, the combined treatment of organic fertilizer shows highest percent of germination followed by N+P+K, when compared to individual treatments and control. The treatment with organic fertilizers is found to be more effective than the inorganic fertilizer in sunflower plant.
