Black worm castings help boosts soil through the introduction of micro-nutrients and beneficial soil organisms, increasing the uptake of nutrients by the plant and improving the health of the plants themselves. While being an organic alternative to the ill-effects of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Scientific Research Open Access explains how black worm castings help make your home garden or farm amazing.
US study indicate that 10,000 worms in a farm plot provides the same benefit as three farmers working 8 hours in shift all year round with 10 tons of manure applied in the plot. Humic acid present in humus provides binding sites for the plant nutrients, such as calcium, iron, potassium, sulfur and phosphorus. These nutrients are stored in the humic acid in a form readily available to plants, and are released when the plants require them.
The “humic acid” in vermicompost stimulates plant growth even in small amount. The humic acid in humus are essential to plants in four basic ways: a) Enables plant to extract nutrients from soil; b) Help to dissolve unresolved minerals to make organic matter ready for plants to use; c) Stimulates root growth; and d) Helps plant to overcome stress. Presence of humus in soil even helps chemical fertilizers to work better.
Humus is believed to aid in the prevention of harmful plant pathogens, fungi, nematodes and bacteria. Vermicompost has an ability to fight soil-borne plant diseases such as root rot. Humus also increases water permeability and water retention capacity, contributing to better plant health and more efficiently use in soil moisture. It is found that nitrogen concentrations are higher in vermicompost than in aerobic compost piles. There are other agronomic benefits of composts application, such as high levels of soil-borne disease suppression and removal of soil salinity. One study reported that mean root disease was reduced from 82% to 18% in tomato and from 98% to 26% in capsicum in soils amended with compost.
Vermitechnology’s organic fertilizers are a valuable addition for every soil type and plant situation, from farms, vegetable or flower gardens, to landscaping and lawns.
