Agricultural practices in culturable waste lands are very hard and unsafe due to low moisture and organic content in the soil. Therefore, a vast chunk of land is left unused. In the present study it was tried to evaluate the performance of Gloriosa superba in such soil amended with different doses of vermicompost. In each treatment maximum percentage increase over control in new leaves emergent was on 90th days, shoot length & rhizome weight on 60th days and in dry weight it was on 30th days. The growth performance was recorded increasing with increasing the doses of vermicompost. On the basis of dry weight results treatment T2 (3 Part soil + 1Part vermicompost may be suitable for cultivation of this plant in culturable waste land soil, if vermicompost available in plenty treatment T3 & T4 also may be applicable.
