Present investigations were carried out during 1998-2000 at Shivri farm of Uttar Pradesh Bhumi Sudhar Nigam, Lucknow, India, to study the effect of vermicompost application in reclaimed sodic soils on the productivity of potato (Solanum tuberosum), spinach (Spinacia oleracea) and turnip (Brassica campestris). The soil quality was monitored during the experiment followed by productivity. The tre...

Vermicompost singly and in binary combination with different biopesticide were used in agricultural field to control the infestation of nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) and high yield of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea) crop. Mixing of binary combination of vermicompost with neem oil (94%) in the soil caused significant reduction in M. incognita. The combination of garlic extract with different ...

The vermicompost using earthworms (Eisenia Fetida) was produced from food waste and chemical parameters (EC, pH, carbon to nitrogen contents (C/N)) and germination bioassay was examined in order to assess the stability and maturity indicators during the vermicomposting process. The seed used in the germination bioassay was cress. The ranges of EC, pH, C/N and germination index were 7.5-4.9 mS/c...

organic fertilizers such as vermicompost (vc) are an undeniable source of required nutrients of plants. this field experiment performed as split plot arrangement based a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2008. the main factors (vermicompost treatments) added to soil at six levels including 20 and 40 ton.ha-1, 20 and 40 ton.ha-1 plus (1/2) chemical fertilizer, chemical ...

This research illustrates the qualitative and quantitative composition of the mycoflora of both a green compost (thermophilically produced from plant debris) and a vermicompost (mesophilically produced by the action of earthworms on plant and animal wastes after thermophilic preconditioning). Fungi were isolated using three media (PDA, CMC, PDA plus cycloheximide), incubated at three temperatur...

The main objective of this study was to determine the effects of vermicompost and amino acids on the qualitative and quantitative yield of chamomile. The experiment was conducted during the growing season of 2010 at the Alborz Medical Research Center. The Treatment groups consisted of vermicompost (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 tons/ha) and the sprays of amino acids (budding stag, flowering stage, and bu...

Vermicomposting is the process of converting organic wastes into valuable organic fertilizer by earthworms. Vermicompost is rich in metal ions and has the potential to be used as an electrolyte. The main aim of this investigation is to explore the potential of earthworms to convert the fruit waste into high quality vermicompost which can serve as a solution to solid waste management issues and ...

The study was aimed at understanding the effect of vermicompost on the growth and yield of Capsicum annum . The main aim of this investigation was focused on the assessment of the potency of selected earthworm species Eudrilus eugeniae with respect to their biodegradation of Lady’s finger waste into organic manure known as vermicompost. The present study has been carried out to estimate macro a...

Background:Nitrogen plays a crucial role in growth cycling and development, thereby influencing the plant productivity. Understanding interactions between nitrogen uptake with different irrigation fertilizers could provide valuable insight for optimizing tomato production. Hence, this study aimed to investigate effect of on production under fertilizer regimes. Methods:The field experiment was c...
