Effects of Vermicompost on Sustainable Agriculture Under Different Growing Conditions

Abstract

Sustainable agriculture aims to providing a healthy food source and a habitable environment for future generations, plays the fundamental role in agriculture, ensuring both food security and environmental sustainability. Organic fertilizers are frequently utilized in achieving these objectives in crops production. Vermicompost is a natural and high-valued organic fertilizer used in sustainable agricultural practices, resulting of organic waste breakdown by earthworms. The organic matter digested by worms forms vermicompost, containing beneficial nutrients for the soil and plants. This fertilizer enhances soil health and promotes plant growth. However, the growing environments of plants also hold significance in terms of sustainability. This study, focusing on the impact of vermicompost on plants grown under different conditions such as field, greenhouse, and soilless environments, emphasizes the role of vermicompost in improving soil health, reducing chemical fertilizer use, and serving as a significant component of sustainable agriculture. According to information gathered from literature studies, vermicompost contributes to plant yield and quality, predominantly in greenhouse conditions. It has been observed that vermicompost can serve as an alternative to chemical fertilizers or effectively reduce their usage and enhance sustainability, deciding optimal doses.
