The Evaluation of Cow Manure as a Vermicompost: The Case of Wheat (Triticum vulgaris L.) Experiment

Abstract

Vermicompost is an organic material that is received after a process of digestion some kinds of wastes (harvest, kitchen, manure etc.) by earthworms. It has an extensive usage in agriculture such as soil conditioner, source of organic fertilizer in both organic and inorganic agriculture. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effects of increasing doses of vermicomposts combined to soil and peat on wheat (Triticum vulgaris L.) growth and nutrition. For this purpose, air dried soil and peat were mixed with three rates of vermicompost equivalent to 0% (control), 25% and 50% (v/v) combinations. The treatments were replicated three times. The data revealed that nutritional concentration of aerial parts was influenced significantly by the application of vermicompost in the growth media. This study suggests that the vermicompost use in plant production has a role as a source of nutrients for plant growth.
