Vermicompost boosts broccoli growth and soil health for sustainable farming
The study looked at how using Vermicompost and Vermicompost tea affects the growth and yield of broccoli plants and soil properties. Different treatments were applied to the plants, including using only soil, chemical fertilizers, Vermicompost mixed with soil, and Vermicompost tea spray. The plants treated with Vermicompost and Vermicompost tea showed increased plant height, leaf number, leaf area, and flower weight, as well as higher levels of protein, fat, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Overall, using Vermicompost and Vermicompost tea together with half the recommended fertilizer improved the growth and yield of broccoli plants and soil quality.
