Abstract :

An experimental trial was conducted In order to evaluate the effect of extracts of seaweed and vermicompost fertilizer on mung bean in the summer 2014 in Varamin. A split plot factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replications was used. Treatments included seaweed extract under the brand Liquid Steamplex, vermicompost fertilizer and mung bean Partoo and a promising line vc6173B. The first factor with 3 levels, without the use of seaweed extract, seaweed extract sprayed 2 times and 4 times during the growing season with a concentration of 2 per thousand, the second factor with 2 levels of no use and the use of vermicompost (10 tons per hectare) and mung bean Partoo variety and a promising line vc6173B was used as the third factor. Simple effects results showed that maximum grain yield obtained with 2 time seaweed spraying, using vermicompost and the Partoo variety with 1553, 1600 and 1573.3 kg h-1 respectively.Highest foliar biomass was produced by 4 times seaweed spraying, using vermicompost treatment and Partoo variety with 6240, 5880 and 5880 kg h-1 respectively. Among the three-way interactions the highest grain yield and biological yield was produced by using four times seaweed spraying with the use of vermicompost in Partoo variety with 1720 and 6960 kg h-1 respectively. According to the results, seaweed extract spraying increased the vegetative growth and the use of vermicompost by creating a favorable conditions, provided a better plant growth. Also Partoo variety had a higher yield.
