| dc.description.abstract | Vermicompost is a rich, nutritious fertilizer produced by the digestion and decomposition of organic waste by earthworms. In this process, the worms break down organic materials to produce a humus-like substance. Vermicompost contains high levels of plant nutrients, enzymes, microorganisms and growth regulators. These components make vermicompost an effective natural fertilizer that increases soil fertility and improves plant health. Vermicomposting also provides significant benefits in terms of environmental sustainability. The breakdown of organic waste by worms facilitates waste management and reduces the burden on landfills. In addition, vermicomposting reduces the use of chemical fertilizers and prevents environmentally harmful chemicals from entering the soil and water resources. Vermicompost has great potential for sustainable agriculture and soil health. However, it needs to be used in an effective and balanced manner. This study comprehensively addressed the benefits and potential harms of vermicompost on soil health and agricultural productivity. Future research and applications will contribute to a more effective and sustainable use of vermicompost. © 2024, Institute of Economic Development and Social Researches. All rights reserved. | |
