A potential antagonist, designated strain Bacillus subtilis MBCU5 was previously isolated from vermicompost-amended soils of Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India. Crude allelochemicals from strain MBCU5 displayed strong antifungal activity against Macrophomina phaseolina as well as Rhizoctonia solani. These crude allelochemicals were tentatively identified as iturin, fengycin and surfactin through TLC a...

vermicompost can improve physicochemical traits of soil having desirable effect on plant growth and development due to its structural traits and having macro and micro nutrients, plant growth regulators and favorable microorganisms. in order to investigate the effect of interactions between ratios of vermicompost and saline stress on some morphological, physiological and biochemical traits of p...

abstract in order to evaluate the effects of different organic and biological fertilizers on quantity and quality of essential oil of fennel an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with three replications. the experimental treatments were two organic (compost and vermicompost) and two biological (pseudomonas putida and azotobacter chroococcum ) fertilizers, their all...

Vermicomposts have been shown to promote the germination, growth, and yields of plants. This paper aims to demonstrate the effects of vermicomposts produced from three types of wastes on growth and flowering of petunias which are an important U.S. flowering crop. Vermicomposts, produced commercially from cattle manure, food wastes and paper wastes, were substituted at a range of different conce...

consumption of organic manures such as vermicompost and spent mushroom compost in a system based on organic agriculture beside to maintenance soil health improvement and yield of medicinal plant spearmint. therefore, an completely randomized design experiment with four replication on spearmint (mentha spicata l )was conducted in horticultural department of mohaghegh ardabili university. experim...

BACKGROUND: Organic farming has emerged as important priority area globally in view of growing demand for safe and healthy food and long term sustainability and concerns on environmental pollution associated with indiscriminate use of agrochemicals. Nano fertilizers can be easily absorbed by crops and may exhibit a prolonged effective duration of nutrient supply in soil/crop co...
