The lowest AI value was found in the VM1 treatment (0.05), while the highest value was found in the VM2 and control (0.06) treatments. The highest H/H (16.92) and SI (7.24) values were also observed in the VM1 treatment. Conversely, the highest RV and lowest FFA values were determined in the VM2 treatment, while variability was observed in terms of colour characteristics. The application of VM2 was found to be partially more prominent in terms of some traits, and when all these data were evaluated in general, it was concluded that it is of great benefit to continue the studies on vermicompost.}, number={1}, publisher={Ordu Üniversitesi}, organization={This research was supported by Yavuz Food Industry and Trade Inc.
