U.S. farmers spend over $8 billion dollars every year for nitrogen fertilizer. All these chemicals end up in our soil, food, animals, rivers and streams. Damaging delicate cycles and causing devastating conditions along the way.
Sustainable Agriculture
Black worm castings, also known as vermicast, is being rediscovered as the first step to a more sustainable environment and reduction of fertilizers. Not only will it benefit the home gardener and farmers bottom line and product more crops, it also benefits the consumer and the environment.
Research found in Global Science, Vermitechnology The Emerging 21st Century Bioengineering Technology for Sustainable Development and Protection of Human Health and Environment reveals how organic black worm castings can help reduce the need for synthetic fertilizers.
Protects crops and reduces use of chemical pesticides: Another advantage of great environmental significance is that vermicast repels and also suppresses plant pests and diseases in crops and inhibits soil-borne fungal diseases. In field trials with pepper, tomatoes, strawberries and grapes significant suppression of plant-parasitic nematodes has been found. There is also significant decrease in arthropods populations with addition of 20 and 40% Vermicast in soil Humus in vermicast extracts toxins, harmful fungi and bacteria from soil and protects plants. Actinomycetes in vermicast induce biological resistance in plants against pests and diseases. As such use of vermicast significantly reduces the need for chemical pesticides. Our studies indicated over 75% reduction.
Organic black worm castings have numerous benefits, which is also why it is called Black Gold. They contain nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, natural enzymes, trace elements, and micro-nutrients, they also help to balance the pH in the soil, improve aeration, improves the structure of the soil, which in turn helps both water drainage and retention.
It also promotes crop production and can help home gardeners and farmers enjoy the fruits of their labor. Organic black worm castings from 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 pesticides, while being about 75% less expensive.
