Based on the concepts of circular economy and bioeconomy, reuse agrifood residues through vermicomposting can help solve serious environmental problems such as soil contamination degradation, erosion climate change. In this sense, objective was to identify, quantify analyze physical, chemical, hormonal, amino acid content microbial biodiversity three formulations vermicompost, with without inoc...

Two independent trials were established during the years of 2009 and 2010 with M.26 apple rootstocks and Prunus mahaleb L. seedlings in three different locations to evaluate the effect of seven organic fertilizers and amendments on the growth of rootstocks in an organic nursery in the first year of an operation. The products tested were a microbial consortium, two kinds of vermicomposts extract...

A recent report in this journal from these authors, which shows that vermicomposting transforms a toxic weed such as lantana into benign organic fertilizer, can be of practical utility only if processes developed for rapid, inexpensive, and sustainable weeds. This paper describes attempts leading to process the allelopathic weeds (Lantana camara), parthenium (Parthenium hysterophorus), ipomoea ...

Introduction: The presence of pathogenic microbial agents and pathogens in organic fertilizers causes health problems and disease transmission.Therefore , the aim of this study was to identify bacterial and fungal species present in vermicompost production. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was conducted in pilot scale in the laboratory of Public Health School in Shahid Sadoughi U...

Introduction: The present study aimed to investigate the microbial quality of the produced vermicomposts and compare them with the existing standards. Materials and Methods: This experimental study was conducted as a pilot-scale one in the laboratory school. Some perishable domestic wastewater mixed in a reactor, including food waste, vegetables and fruits, cow manure and sludge from wastewate...

ABSTRACT: Vermicompost was prepared from leaf materials such as Gliricidia sepium Jacq, Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) De Wit and Cassia auriculata Linn and earthworms, Eudrilus eugeniae (Kinberg) and Eisenia fetida (Savigny) along with cowdung in six Treatments. Fortnightly analyses (0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 d) of the colony forming units (CFU) of bacteria in vermicomposts, vermicasts and earthworm ...

iron deficiency or lime induced chlorosis is a common problem in calcareous soils. application of mineral iron fertilizer in these soils is not usually fully effective in curing iron deficiency as compared to organic chelates. cow manure and iron refuse (oxides), a by-product of iron melting factories were mixed in different properties of: 0, 5, 10, and 20 % v/v to make mixtures which of after ...

The effects of food waste vermicompost on populations of adult striped cucumber beetles (Acalymma vittatum) and spotted cucumber beetles (Diabotrica undecimpunctata) on cucumbers and larval hornworms on tomatoes (Manduca quinquemaculata) were evaluated in both greenhouse and field experiments as well as damage caused. In the field, cucumber and tomato plants were grown, with two different appli...

introduction: the present study aimed to investigate the microbial quality of the produced vermicomposts and compare them with the existing standards. methods: this experimental study was conducted as a pilot-scale one, in the laboratory school. some perishable domestic waste were mixed in a reactor, including food waste, vegetables and fruits, cow manure and sludge of wastewater treatment plan...
