Orlando, Florida based Vermitechnology has the capability of replacing harmful chemical fertilizers in farms and residential gardens across the World. It has the potential of producing 40% more crops than those produced with synthetic fertilizers and it’s about 75% less expensive, while using less water for irrigation.
“In sustainable agriculture practices, vermiculture creates a healthy, living soil that is less subject to erosion and moisture loss. Because worms help increase the soil’s water-holding capacity, the need for irrigation has been reduced 40-60 percent in BERI projects. Soil with a healthy earthworm population is better aerated because it requires no mechanical tillage. The worms produce a soil teeming with microbial life that grows healthy crops subject to fewer damaging pests and diseases. Because worms respond poorly to chemical inputs, they serve as a natural deterrent to using chemical fertilizers or pesticides,” according to recent article in Context Institute
There are many environmental and economic advantages of the using vermitechnolgy over chemical agriculture. From pure black castings, liquid VermaPlex, Coral Calcium, Black sea Organic, to all natural worms, the benefits are seen by both the producer and consumer of food.
Reduce the need for irrigation through Vermitechnolgy
The intestinal wall of the worm produces a mucus that assists with a desired balance of moisture in the soil, it also improves the soils capacity to hold water while increasing the rate the soil can absorb water and how long the soil will hold the water. By retaining moisture in the soil, worm casting can reduce irrigation costs by up to 50%. For drought stricken or water restriction areas where water is in a deficient, such as California, Vermitechnology crucial.
It also reduces the need of chemical pesticides as the crops become more resistant to diseases and pests. The water soluble supportive elements in worm castings are available to plants immediately. Castings are usually seven times higher in phosphates, five times higher in available nitrogen, and up to 5 times more organic matter.
