Assessment of in-vitro phytotoxicity and compost application of final composted samples of T1 and T2 treatments on Pisum sativum var AS10 seeds. A Phytotoxic effects of final compost samples of T1 and T2. (i) T1-treated seeds. (ii) T2-treated seeds. The germination index of T2 was higher (123 ± 2.24) than that of T1 (58.2 ± 4.72) treatment with p < 0.05, showing non-harmful effects on Pisum sativum var AS 10 seeds. B The fertilizing efficiency of final composted samples of T1 and T2 evaluated on Pisum sativum var. AS10 after eight weeks of growth. (i) T1 amended pea plantlets. (ii) T2 amended pea plantlets. (iii) Significant difference in the growth of pea plantlets with T1 and T2 amendments. The enhanced shoot and root stimulating effects and increased productivity on Pisum sativum var AS-10 were monitored with T2 amendment. T1: Treatment 1 (Faeces + biochar + coco peat); T2: Treatment 2 (Faeces + biochar + coco peat + bacterial consortium)
