Objective:Investigating the microbes and interactions of the beneficial symbiotic relationships between the components of the system ecology in the food chains and life cycles is one of the modern sustainable agriculture topics. In this regard, to evaluate the effects of bacteria and vermicompost on morphological characteristics and yield of soybean an experiment was conducted as split plot in...

This study aimed to analyze and quantify the effect of different ratios vermicompost, phosphate rock, sulfur on P solubilization release by Pseudomonas fluorescens Ur21, identify optimal levels those variables for an efficient biofertilizer. Twenty experiments were defined surface response methodology based a central composite design (CCD), effects various quantities (encoded −1, 0, or +1) was ...

The effects of adding the biosurfactant rhamnolipid, the lignolytic and cellulolytic fungus Phanerochete chrysosporium, and the free-living nitrogen-fixing bacterium Azotobacter chrococcum on vermicomposting of green waste with Eisenia fetida was investigated. The addition of rhamnolipid and/or either microorganism alone or in all combinations significantly increased E. fetida growth rate, the ...

It is known that in vermicomposting soil layer in bedding of the reactor helps in earthworm biomass growth and reproduction but growth is influenced by soil characteristics such as texture, pH, and water holding capacity. The present study was conducted to asses the influence of soils on earthworm biomass growth and reproduction during the vermicomposting of source separated human faeces. The s...

Field experiment was conducted during 2003-04 to study the effect of vermicompost, farmyard manure and water hyacinth compost in comparison to chemically fertilized and unfertilized plots on crop-plants in HYV Swarna and local variety Magaisal. The experiment followed split plot design with two varieties of rice in the main plots and fi ve nutrient sources randomized in sub plots. Signifi cant ...

conclusions the vermicompost as a potential source of plant nutrients for sustainable tomato production can reduce health and environmental problems. results the analysis of the variance results revealed that the effect of the type and amount of fertilizers on tomato yield was significant at 1% level. the results of this study showed that using the vermicompost dosage to cow manure of 500 g/m2 ...
