Grain legumes are the most produced crops in all but cereals for all over the World and lentil is one of the most substantial of them. Vermicompost can play an effective role in crop growth and also in reducing the harmful effects of various chemical fertilizers. Besides, vermicompost application has various positive effects on the chemical and physiological traits of soil in a short and long time. Also, appropriate sowing time and scheduled application of crop and environmental oriented nutrients are required by the plant for high-quality product and grain yield. This study was carried out to determine the effects of vermicompost on plant growth, seed yield and yield components depending on different sowing times. According to results, seedling emergence time (SET) and flowering time (FT) varied between 11.0-25.3 and 130.7-181.7, respectively. Plant height (PH), number of pods per plant (NP), number of seeds per pod (NS) and seed yield (SY) changed between 35.8-57.1 cm, 20.8-54.5 plant-1, 1.13-1.51 plant-1 and 922-2527 kg ha-1, respectively. Therefore, the most suitable sowing date for winter lentil was determined as of December 1st in the Siirt. Therefore, 250 kg da-1 vermicompost applied in December 1st is recommended to gain the highest seed yield. Accordingly, it is recommended that vermicompost might be used to reduce production costs and discontinue damage to the environment due to the utilize of chemical fertilizers.
