The field experiment was conducted during kharif and rabi seasons of 2017-18 and 2018-19 at the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kasturbagram, Indore, M.P. to find out the effect of biowastes enriched vermicompost growth and productivity of soybean and succeeding wheat. Amongst the biowaste treatments, the farm waste enriched 2 t VC/ha (W2) increased the growth and yield parameters of soybean upto significant extent as compared to water hyacinth (W1) and soybean stover (W3) enriched VC treatments. The plant height was 46 cm, branches 4.65/plant, leaves 10.21/plant, DM 24.4 g/plant, grain yield 25.15 q/ha and straw yield 28.91 q/ha. In succeeding wheat, the plant height was 103 cm, 24 g DM/plant, root dry weight 4.02 g/plant, tillers 41.5/m row length, grain yield 42.29 q/ha and straw yield 59.65 q/ha in W2 treatment. In case of additives enriched VC treatments (A1 to A5), rock phosphate + PSB + Trichoderma combination performed the best with respect to growth and yield parameters of soybean and then succeeding wheat. The plant height of soybean was 45 cm, branches 4.41/plant, leaves 9.83/plant, DM 24.5 g/plant, grain yield 24.03 q/ha and straw yield 27.88 q/ha. In succeeding wheat, the plant height was 101 cm, 22.4 g DM/plant, root dry weight 4.09 g/plant, tillers 40.3/m row length, grain yield 42.10 q/ha and straw yield 59.45 q/ha in A5 treatment
