The experiment was conducted in 2022 at the research farm of Dicle University of Agricultural Faculty, Diyarbakir, Turkey. The study is to examine the effect of vermicompost, which is an industrial product of organic origin, on the growth of peas. The soil was treated with liquid vermicompost 10 t ha−1 with sown. Seed dressing of vermicompost was applied to the seed coat. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete-block design with three blocks. After 45 days after emergence, plant samples were harvested six times every ten days. Observations were on plant height, leaf area, number of leaves, stipule, tendrils plant-1, stem, and leaf dry weight. The effect of vermicompost treatments on seed and soil was significant for plant height, the number of leaves and tendrils per plant, leaf area, and dry stem weight. Vermicompost application on seeds and soil was higher than a control for all traits. Vermicompost application to the soil had a slight advantage over the vermicompost application to the seed.
