A field experiment conducted at the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, to study the response of tuberose to vermicompost at different levels (1,2,3kg/sq m) alone and in combination with 50 per cent recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) and recommended dose of FYM during 2000-01 revealed that plants which received vermicompost either alone or in combination with½ RDF were early to initiate flowering. Significantly higher flower spike yield (1.12 and 1.16 lakhs/ha in 2000 and 2001, respectively) was obtained with the application of 3 kg vermicompost /sq m along with 50  per cent RDF.
