Optimizing yield and nutrients content in crop production is the high time demand of arable farming. Vermicompost furnishes one of the most promising alternatives to costly chemical fertilizer. Therefore, a greenhouse experiment was conducted at NARC, Islamabad, to investigate the effect of different levels of vermicompost [having C/N=15/1 and 14 Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacter ia (PGPR)] on growth, yield and nutrients content in hybrid tomato (National Tunnel To-mato-04-08) under greenhouse conditions during Rabi 2015. The data revealed that different rates (0.5 t∙ha-1, 1 t∙ha-1, 1.
