摘要

An effective way to turn organic matter into useful compounds is through vermicomposting. This procedure uses earthworms’ gastrointestinal tracts to stabilize organic wastes. The result is an odorless, clean, peat-like material that has a good form, the ability to retain moisture, and organic matter that contains generally appropriate amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and other minerals necessary for plant development. Vermicompost’s outcome is abundant in important nutrients, macro and micro, as well as simple microbes. The use of vermicompost enhances both fertility and the condition of the soil while also promoting better plant development and total production. Plant growth regulator vermiwash is a liquid that is sprayed on leaves and has a significant amount of macro and micronutrients, vitamins, and hormones like auxins and gibberellins. By enhancing the “biological, chemical, and physical features” of the soil while also sustaining humus and organic matter in the soil, such inputs assist in preserving soil health and may be utilized to encourage the growth of useful soil microbes. It additionally aids in the uptake of humic acids or their breakdown products, which influence the overall growth and metabolism of plants. It also improves the hormonal and biochemical activities of humus substances. Water holding capacity, soil structure, drainage, seed germination, base exchange capacity, and soil erosion are all improved. For improving the health of soil in organic farming, they may thus be used extremely effectively as biotic indicators.
