Effect of vermicompost on plant growth and its relationship with soil properties
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Vermicomposts are rich in microbial populations and diversity, particularly fungi, bacteria and actinomycetes. The continued use of chemical fertilizers causes health and environmental hazards such as ground and surface water pollution by nitrate leaching. Compost refers to organic constituents, usually wastes, that have been mixed, piled, and moistened and undergo thermophilic decomposition that alters or decomposes the original organic materials. Many studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of vermicompost inproviding protection against various plant diseases.
