Vermicomposting is increasing used to process food, sewage and other organic wastes through the breakdown by earthworms. Vermicompost addition soils can improve plant growth accessability of nutrients lowering levels contaminants found in compost products. This study examins effect vermicompost on salinity tolerance tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicumL., var. Firenze) via greenhouse pot experim...

Successful transplant production begins with selecting good growing media. Healthy vigorous transplants will be less susceptible to insects, diseases and transplant shock, leading to improved overall crop performance. Formulating organic potting mixes is especially challenging. Organic sources of nitrogen, such as compost, can be inconsistent. Compost chemical, biological and physical character...

An experiment was conducted to find out the effect of INM on vegetative growth, flowering and fruiting of Andrographis paniculata. The experiment was followed in a randomized block design with 8 treatments. The different treatments were T1no treatment, T2vermicompost, T3-biofertilizers, T4-chemical fertilizers, T5biofertilizers + vermicompost, T6biofertilizers + chemical fertilizers, T7chemical...

in order to investigate the effect of vermicompost (vc) application on amount of micro elements in soil and plant organs of the medicinal plant of borage (borago officinalis), an experiment was carried out in split plot based on complete randomized block design with three replications in the research farm of the sari university of agricultural science and natural resources. fertilizer treatment...

The effects of commercial vermicomposts, produced from food waste, on infestations and damage by aphids, mealy bugs and cabbage white caterpillars were studied in the greenhouse. Vermicomposts were used at substitution rates into a soil-less plant growth medium, MetroMix 360 (MM360), at rates of 100% MM360 and 0% vermicompost, 80% MM360 and 20% vermicompost, and 60% MM360 and 40% vermicompost t...
