Impact Study Of Bombex Ceiba Leaf Litter Vermicompost On Locally Popular Crop Sorgham Vulgare

Abstract

The excess use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, insecticides have made soil sick, thereby losing important micronutrient and mineral that is associated with the growth of plants. It has also caused environmental hazards affecting human health.  Farmers are encouraged to undertake organic farming and chemical free method of cultivation of crops. Animal wastes and plant residues like dried leaves are converted into nutrient rich vermicompost in organic farming. This study aims to investigate the influence of vermicompost on plant development in order to attain high output while maintaining sustainable soil fertility. Vermicomposting is an excellent choice for organic farming since it helps maintain the chemical, physical, and biological aspects of the soil.
